Moonraker

In the 11th installment of the 007 series, director Lewis Gilbert delivers a visually thrilling progression in filmmaking. Roger Moore returns as dashing secret service agent James Bond. This time around Bond must investigate the theft of a space shuttle with help from beautiful CIA agent Dr. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) and sexy Euro supermodel Corrine (Corrine Clery). Agent 007 discovers that genocidal maniac-millionaire Hugo Drax (Michel Lonsdale) plans to poison all of humanity from outer space and repopulate earth with only the most perfectly bred humans. A variety of traps and villains awaits Bond, including the recurring character Jaws (Richard Kiel, also featured in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME).

Filmed in such exotic locations as Southern California, Venice, and the Amazon, Gilbert delivers the formula Bond packet of girls, gadgets, and guns. However, he also goes further, sending Agent 007 into space. MOONRAKER takes great risks in blending the spy and science fiction genres. In spite of such an unruly coupling, the film rewards viewers with its finale of climactic plot twists and stellar special effects.

Connery voted greatest British hero
- 26 Jul 2006
Sean Connery isn't quite over-the-hill yet, with a recent survey commissioned by Thorpe Park revealing that for many Britons he is their 'greatest British hero'. Although the robust Scot's position at the top of the list is not in question, the validity of a greatest ever heroes' poll that includes Jamie Oliver, Ant and Dec and Ricky Gervais certainly has to be. Mr Connery has obviously found favour with the British public for heroic roles such as Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez in Highlander, Read more
