After receiving a license to
kill, British Secret Service agent James Bond (Daniel
Craig) heads to Madagascar, where he uncovers a link to
Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), a man who finances
terrorist organizations. Learning that Le Chiffre plans
to raise money in a high-stakes poker game, MI6 sends
Bond to play against him, gambling that their newest
"00" operative will topple the man's organization. Based
on Ian Fleming's novel.
