Overview[]
Tomorrow Never Dies is a 1997 British produced action-thriller espionage film starring Pierce Brosnan, Johnathan Pryce, and Michelle Yeoh. It was directed by Roger Spottiswoode and is the eighteenth film in the James Bond Franchise Series. It was also the second film starring Pierce Brosnon in titular role as James Bond.
Debonair secret agent James Bond of MI-6 is racing the clock! Tensions are about to erupt between the UK and China in a shooting war that will devastate two countries and leave millions dead in the process.
Bond believes that someone is deliberately orchestrating these tensions and manipulating things to start a war. But if he can't prove his suspicions, then war will be declared and then there won't be a tomorrow...
Plot[]
Megalomaniac media mogul Elliot Carver believes that if you can control and shape what people think, then you can control the world. And he's only one step away from completing his global media empire. But the Chinese Government is proving stubborn and refusing his Carver Media Group Network the rights to broadcast in their country.
So Carver decides that he'll simply have to cause a global war to topple the current Chinese Government and begins arranging a series of escalating conflicts between the Chinese and Britain intent on dragging both nations into World War III!
When a British warship mysteriously sinks in the South China Sea and its crew executed with Chinese weapons, MI-6 wants to know what happened yesterday! And strangely enough, the Carver Media Group is so uncannily accurate, so uncannily timely, it's almost as though they knew ahead of time just what occurred. Even before the British Government.
Sending in their best, Agent 007 James Bond is racing the clock to discover the truth. Because if he fails, there won't be a tomorrow.
