SPECTRE hijacks a NATO bomber with two atomic bombs and holds the world to ransom; Bond follows the trail to Emilio Largo in the Bahamas for a largely underwater finale.

One of the few Bond films to open in the US (22 December 1965) before the UK (29 December). Later remade outside Eon as Never Say Never Again.
