''GoldenEye'' (1995) is the seventeenth spy film in the ''James Bond'' series, and the first to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 officer James Bond. The film was directed by Martin Campbell and is the first film in the series not to take story elements from the works of novelist Ian Fleming. The story was conceived and written by Michael France, with later collaboration by other writers. In the film, Bond fights to prevent an ex-MI6 agent, gone rogue, from using a satellite against London in order to cause global financial meltdown. ''GoldenEye'' was released in 1995 after a six-year hiatus in the series caused by legal disputes, during which Timothy Dalton resigned from the role of James Bond and was replaced by Pierce Brosnan. M was also recast, with actress Judi Dench becoming the first woman to portray the character, replacing Robert Brown. The role of Miss Moneypenny was also recast, with Caroline Bliss being replaced by Samantha Bond. ''GoldenEye'' was the first Bond film made after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, which provided a background for the plot. The film accumulated a worldwide gross of US$350.7 million, considerably better than Dalton's films, without taking inflation into account. Some critics viewed the film as a modernisation of the series, and felt Brosnan was a definite improvement over his predecessor. The film also received award nominations for "Best Achievement in Special Effects" and "Best Sound" from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. The name "GoldenEye" pays homage to James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming. While working for British Naval Intelligence as a lieutenant commander, Ian Fleming liaised with the American OSS to monitor developments in Spain after the Spanish Civil War in an operation codenamed Operation Goldeneye. Fleming used the name of his operation for his estate in Oracabessa, Jamaica. ==Plot== In 1986, MI6 officers James Bond—agent 007 (33 years old)—and Alec Trevelyan—agent 006 (27 years old)—infiltrate an illicit Soviet chemical weapons facility in Arkhangelsk and plant explosives. Trevelyan is caught and shot by Colonel Arkady Ourumov, but Bond is able to flee as the facility explodes. Nine years later, in 1995, Bond arrives in Monte Carlo to follow Xenia Onatopp, a suspected member of the Janus crime syndicate, who has formed a suspicious relationship with a Royal Canadian Navy admiral. Xenia kills the admiral, by crushing his ribs with her thighs during sex, to allow her associate to steal his identity, and they steal a Eurocopter Tiger helicopter that can withstand electromagnetic pulses. They fly it to a bunker in Siberia, where they massacre the staff and steal the control disk for GoldenEye, a Soviet weapon from the Cold War that uses electromagnetic energy. They program the GoldenEye satellite to destroy the complex with a pulse, and escape with programmer Boris Grishenko. Natalya Simonova, the lone survivor, contacts Boris and arranges to meet him in St. Petersburg, where he betrays her to Janus. In London, M assigns Bond to investigate the attack. He flies to St. Petersburg to meet CIA officer Jack Wade. Jack suggests Bond to meet Valentin Zukovsky, a former KGB agent and business rival of Janus. After Bond gives him a tip on a potential heist, Zukovsky arranges a meeting between Bond and Janus. Xenia meets Bond at his hotel and attempts to kill him, but he overpowers her and she takes him to Janus. Bond meets Janus who reveals himself as Trevelyan, having faked his death but was badly scarred from the explosion at Arkhangelsk. A descendant of the Cossack clans who collaborated with the Nazi forces in the Second World War, Trevelyan had vowed revenge against Britain for their involvement in his parents' deaths. Just as Bond is about to kill Trevelyan, Bond is shot with a tranquilizer dart. Bond awakens, tied up with Natalya in the helicopter programmed to self-destruct, but they escape. They are immediately arrested and brought to the military archives, where the Russian Minister of Defence Dimitri Mishkin interrogates them. As Natalya reveals the existence of a second satellite and Ourumov's involvement in the massacre in Siberia, Ourumov bursts into the room and kills Mishkin. Ourumov calls for his guards, but Bond escapes as a firefight ensues and Natalya is captured. Bond steals a tank and pursues Ourumov through St. Petersburg to Janus' train, where he kills Ourumov as Trevelyan escapes and locks Bond in the train with Natalya. As the train's self-destruct countdown begins, Bond cuts through the floor with his laser watch while Natalya locates Boris' satellite dish in Cuba. The two escape just before the train explodes. Bond and Natalya meet Jack in Cuba and trade Bond's car for Wade's airplane, but they are shot down while searching for GoldenEye's satellite . As they stumble out of the wreckage, Onatopp rappels down from a helicopter and attacks Bond. After a struggle, Bond shoots down the helicopter, which snares Onatopp and crushes her to death against a tree. Bond and Natalya watch a lake being drained of water, uncovering the satellite dish. They infiltrate the control station, where Bond is captured. Trevelyan reveals his plan to rob the Bank of England before erasing all of its financial records with GoldenEye, concealing the theft and destroying Britain's economy. Meanwhile, Natalya programs the satellite to initiate atmospheric re-entry and destroy itself. As Trevelyan captures Natalya and orders Boris to save the satellite, Bond triggers an explosion with his pen grenade and escapes to the antenna cradle. Bond then sabotages the antenna by jamming the gears, preventing Boris from regaining control of the satellite, before fighting Trevelyan on the antenna's platform, suspended over 400 ft in the air. Bond kicks Trevelyan off the platform, but grabs him by the foot. After a brief and personal exchange, Bond lets go of Trevelyan and he falls to the bottom of the radio dish. He briefly awakes to see the cradle blows up, as it crashes to the to the ground crushing him. Boris survived, but his victory is short-lived as he is immediately frozen by liquid nitrogen and dies. Meanwhile, Natalya commandeers a helicopter and flees with Bond, and the couple is then rescued by Jack and a team of Marines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GoldenEye」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
