Plot
When a British and Russian nuclear sub go missing, secret agent James Bond teams up with his USSR counterpart Major Anya Amasova to find them. The investigation leads them to billionaire shipping magnate Karl Stromberg, who has a crackpot scheme to destroy life on the Earth’s surface and create an undersea kingdom.

Verdict
This has a keen sense of patriotic self-mockery , for example: a smirking Bond, caught in bed by his superiors, insists that he is indeed “keeping the British end up.”
