Tomorrow
Never Dies
DOWN &
DIRTY:
Action/Adventure: British secret
agent James Bond must stop a
power hungry media mogul from
starting an international war.
NITTY GRITTY:
Elliot Carver (JONATHAN PRYCE) is
a powerful media giant who's
about to launch his Satellite
News Network around the world.
Needing a 'killer' story to
headline the big event, he
decides to start a global
conflict to boost his ratings.
First he sinks a British naval
ship and makes it appear that the
Chinese government was
responsible. Carver pits the two
countries against each other
until they are on the brink of
war.
The British send their naval
fleet toward China, and give
"M" (JUDI DENCH), the
head of British Intelligence, 48
hours to figure out what's going
on before they retaliate.
'M' puts her best agent( is there
another one?), James Bond (PIERCE
BROSNAN), on the job. Bond had a
previous romance with Carver's
wife, Paris (TERI HATCHER), and
he meets her at Carver's
inaugural festivities.
Carver suspects Bond isn't the
banker he claims he is, and has
his head of security and his
henchmen rough him up. BOND
escapes, using his rigged up cell
phone.
He eventually teams up with
Chinese agent Wai Lin (MICHELLE
YEOH). Working together they have
many close calls, but fortunately
"Q" (DESMOND LLEWELYN)
has outfitted Bond with many
useful gadgets and weapons that
allow them to escape.
They discover that Carver's
techno terrorist, Gupta, has
prepared a missile to strike
Beijing that's destructive force
will eventually lead to Carver's
complete media control in China.
As Bond and Wai Lin face ever
increasing dangers, they get
closer to finding Carver and
stopping his plan.
THE ENDING:
Bond kills Carver with a giant
drill and shows Wai Lin some new
martial arts 'moves'.
WHAT EVERYONE WILL BE
TALKING ABOUT:
The motorcycle chase
thru narrow streets and buildings
that takes out a helicopter.
