For the first time in the Bond series, the scenes are shot in black and white to act as a flashback explaining Bond's promotion. The first dies a brutal and messy death in the washrooms of a cricket ground, whereas the second is a clean and clinical execution of a rogue operator handling the double-o section. James Bond earns his double-o licence to kill by eliminating two enemies. Prague, Czech Republic Lahore, Pakistan London, UK Uganda Madagascar Bahamas Miami, USA Trieste, Italy Montenegro. But, as Bond and Vesper survive a series of lethal attacks by Le Chiffre and his henchmen, a mutual attraction develops.

In order to stop him, and bring down the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a poker game at the Casino Royale. James Bond's first '007' mission leads him to Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorists.
