In his final outing as Bond, Pierce Brosnan's agent is on the trail of a mysterious british millionaire who has built an ice palace and plans to revolutionise agriculture with a sun-concentrating satellite. Not to mention that there is a double agent in MI6.

This was the last high point of Moore-like ludicrousness before Craig brought it all down to grit and realism. Also, as the film celebrated both the 40th anniversary of the franchise and the 20th official film, there are references to all previous 19 hidden in the film.
