From the banks of the Nervion River in Bilbao, Spain, to a spectacular high-speed boat chase up London’s River Thames and through the highlands of Scotland, James Bond barely survives a potential nuclear explosion in a vast oil pipeline in Turkey – all in the name of protecting beautiful oil heiress Elektra King (Sophie Marceau) from notorious international terrorist Renard (Robert Carlyle).

Bond protects Elektra until he finds out she is really on Renard's side, and is trying to execute an evil plan to become a monopoly in the oil pipeline business in Asia.
