New Bond Pierce Brosnan is thrown right into the action before the title song with an eye-opening cliff dive onto a plane. Sporting his signature debonair attitude and pricey gadgets, Bond investigates the destruction of a Russian satellite base with the help of the blast's survivor. Villains such as the sultry Onatopp (Famke Janssen) keep the tone playful even during the elaborate action sequences, including a chase scene involving a tank.
