Die Another Day

Synopsis

Die Another Day starts with a spectacular Hovercraft chase through a deadly minefield in the demilitarised zone separating North and South Korea - and the action doesn't let up until the credits roll. From Hong Kong to Cuba to London, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) circles the globe in his quest to unmask a traitor and prevent a war of catastrophic proportions. On his way he crosses paths with Jinx (Oscar®-winner Halle Berry) and Miranda Frost, women who will play vital roles in his adventure.

Hot on the trail of evil megalomaniac Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens) and his ruthless right-hand man Zao (Rick Yune), Bond travels to Iceland and into the villain's lair, a fantastic palace built entirely of ice, where he experiences firsthand the power of a new hi-tech weapon. Ultimately it all leads to an explosive confrontation - and unforgettable conclusion - back in Korea where it all started.
