The film tells the story of James Bond enjoying a peaceful life in Jamaica after retiring. But when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA shows up to ask for his help, this short-lived peace ends. His mission was to rescue a kidnapped scientist, but he discovered a mysterious new type of technological criminal organization, which also put him in danger.
