Genres: Action
Rating:
James Bond heads East to save the world (and to learn how to serve saki properly) in this action-packed espionage adventure. When an American spacecraft disappears during a mission, it's widely believed to have been intercepted by the Soviet Union, and after a Russian space capsule similarly goes missing, most consider it to be an act of American retaliation. Soon the two nations are at the brink of war, but British intelligence discovers that some sort of UFO has crashed into the Sea of Japan. Agent 007, James Bond (Sean_Connery) is sent in to investigate. After staging his own death to avoid being followed, Bond, disguised as a Japanese civilian, teams up with agent Tiger Tanaka (Tetsuro_Tamba) and his beautiful associate Aki (Akiko_Wakabayashi). With their help, Bond learns that both the American and Russian space missions were actually scuttled by supercriminal Ernst Blofeld (Donald_Pleasance) in yet another bid by his evil empire SPECTRE to take over the world. As he battles the bad guys, Bond finds time to romance both Kissy Suziki (Mie_Hama) and Helga Brandt (Karin_Dor). You Only Live Twice was one of Sean_Connery's last outings as James Bond. The next Bond film, On_Her_Majesty's_Secret_Service, would star George_Lazenby as 007, and while Connery would return for Diamonds_Are_Forever, in 1973, Roger_Moore took over the role. (Connery would play Bond one last time, in 1983's Never_Say_Never_Again, which was produced outside the official series.) Mark Deming, Rovi
