Synopsis

Nobody does it better than Bond, and he proves it once more in this explosively entertaining action-adventure! Roger Moore portrays the immortal action hero with wit, style, and steely determination.

When a massive underwater craft abducts U.S. and Russian submarines, global tensions are heightened to the brink of war. In order to find the true culprit, James Bond joins forces with beautiful Russian agent Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach). Together they follow a trail that leads to Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens), a powerful shipping magnate who is implementing a horrific scheme for world domination. Bond struggles to foil the plot, but Stromberg has provided him with a most lethal adversary: Jaws (Richard Kiel), a seemingly indestructible steel-toothed giant. Agent 007’s adventure takes him to the Egyptian pyramids, under the sea and to a mountaintop ski chase that builds to one of the most amazing stunts ever filmed.

Climaxing with a magnificent, thrill-packed finale in Stomberg’s secret submarine base (which required the construction of the world’s largest soundstage), The Spy Who Loved Me is a relentlessly exciting action spectacular with romance, humor, and nail-biting suspense.
