Tomorrow Never Dies

Tomorrow Never Dies 1997 is the eighteenth spy film in the James Bond series, and the second to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Directed by Roger Spottiswoode, with the screenplay written by Bruce Feirstein, the film follows Bond as he attempts to stop a powermad media mogul from engineering world events to initiate World War III.

MI6 sends James Bond, agent 007, into the field to spy on a terrorist arms bazaar on the Russian border. Using a secret video feed of the bazaar, MI6, along with officers of the Royal Navy and Russian Armed Forces, identify several wanted men including the American technoterrorist Henry Gupta, who is buying a GPS encoder made by the US military. Despite Ms insistence to let 007 finish his reconnaissance, British Admiral Roebuck orders the frigate HMS Chester to launch a missile attack on the arms bazaar. Bond then discovers two nuclear torpedoes mounted on an L39 Albatros, and as the missile is too far along to be aborted, 007 hijacks the L39 and flies away seconds before the bazaar is struck. Amidst the confusion, Gupta escapes with the encoder.The media baron Elliot Carver, head of the Carver Media Group Network CMGN, soon begins his plans to use the encoder to provoke war between China and the United Kingdom, hoping to replace the current Chinese government with one more supportive to Carvers plans of exclusive broadcast rights in their country. Meaconing the GPS signal using the encoder, Gupta sends the British frigate HMS Devonshire offcourse into Chineseheld waters in the South China Sea, where Carvers stealth ship, commanded by Mr. Stamper, sinks the frigate with a sea drill and steals one of its missiles, while shooting down a Chinese J7 fighter jet sent to investigate the British presence, and killing off the Devonshires survivors with Chinese weaponry. After reading a CMGN report of the incident as a Chinese attack, the Minister of Defence orders Roebuck to deploy the British Fleet to recover the frigate, and possibly retaliate, while leaving M only 48 hours to investigate its sinking. ........
