“GoldenEye” (1995) is a British spy film directed by Martin Campbell and the seventeenth entry in the James Bond franchise, produced by Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. It stars Pierce Brosnan in his debut as James Bond, following Timothy Dalton’s tenure as the iconic spy.
In “GoldenEye,” James Bond is on a mission to thwart a criminal organization that has stolen a powerful satellite weapon called “GoldenEye.” The weapon can cause electromagnetic pulses that disable electronics over a large area. Bond’s mission takes him to various global locations, involving high-stakes action, intrigue, and espionage.
Bond’s primary antagonist is Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean), a former MI6 agent who has turned rogue. Trevelyan plans to use the GoldenEye weapon to destroy London and unleash chaos, seeking revenge for his past grievances and a desire to cripple the Western world.
Bond’s mission involves teaming up with a Russian computer programmer, Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco), who is central to the plot, and clashing with a variety of foes, including Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), a seductive and deadly assassin working for Trevelyan.
