My views

Plot

A young Madeleine Swann witnesses her mother's murder by Lyutsifer Safin, whose family was murdered by Swann's father, Mr. White, under orders from Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Swann shoots Safin and flees, falling into a frozen lake. Safin rescues her.

Decades later, after Blofeld's arrest,[a] Swann travels to Matera with James Bond and persuades him to visit his ex-lover Vesper Lynd's grave to help get over her. While Bond visits the tomb, it explodes, and Bond is attacked by SPECTRE operatives led by Primo, a mercenary with a bionic eye. While fleeing with Bond, Swann receives a congratulatory phone call from Blofeld. Bond accuses Swann of betraying him and sends her away, saying they will never meet again.

Five years later, Spectre agents infiltrate an MI6 laboratory to kidnap scientist Valdo Obruchev, who secretly works for Safin, and steal Project Heracles, a programmable DNA-targeting nanobot bioweapon developed under M's oversight. Retired in Jamaica, Bond is asked by CIA ally Felix Leiter and State Department agent Logan Ash to extract Obruchev from a Spectre party in Cuba. Bond accepts after Nomi, his successor as Agent 007, warns him not to interfere with her extraction of Obruchev and puts him in contact with M, who refuses to explain Heracles.

Bond infiltrates the Spectre party with Leiter's Cuban agent Paloma. Blofeld, overseeing the party from Belmarsh prison through Primo's bionic eye, deploys a nanobot mist to kill Bond, but Obruchev programmed the nanobots under Safin's orders to kill the Spectre members instead. Bond takes Obruchev to Ash and Leiter aboard a trawler. As Bond questions Obruchev about Heracles and Blofeld, Obruchev looks to Ash, acknowledging him as his co-conspirator. Ash shoots Leiter and traps him with Bond below deck, then triggers explosives to sink the ship as he flees with Obruchev. Leiter dies, but Bond escapes.

In London, Bond seeks to interrogate Blofeld in Belmarsh, but Blofeld will only speak to his psychiatrist, Swann. Safin coerces Swann into infecting herself with nanobots to assassinate Blofeld. MI6 has Bond visit Blofeld with Swann. Bond touches Swann, unknowingly infecting himself with the nanobots. Swann, too distressed to face Blofeld, tells Bond she is going "home." Blofeld tells Bond he planned the ambush at Vesper's grave to make Bond believe Swann betrayed him. Bond briefly chokes Blofeld, unknowingly killing him with Safin's nanobots.

Bond reconciles with Swann at her childhood home in Norway and meets her five-year-old daughter Mathilde, whom Swann insists is not Bond's child, despite their resemblance. Swann shares intelligence that her father gathered about Safin and his family's island. MI6 alerts Bond to Ash's approach. Ash and his thugs pursue Bond, Mathilde, and Swann into a forest. Bond orders Swann and Mathilde to hide while he confronts Ash over Leiter's death. He kills Ash and his men, but Safin kidnaps Swann and Mathilde.

Q provides Bond and Nomi with a submersible glider to infiltrate Safin's nanobot factory headquarters, where they plan to kill Obruchev and Safin and rescue Swann and Mathilde. Bond confronts Safin and kills his bodyguards, but Safin flees with Mathilde. Swann escapes Primo and reunites with Bond, and the pair find Mathilde, whom Safin abandoned. Nomi kicks Obruchev into an acid pool and escorts Swann and Mathilde off the island. Bond convinces M to authorize a missile strike on the facility from HMS Dragon, and kills Primo and Safin's remaining men. Safin reappears, shoots Bond repeatedly, and breaks open a vial of nanobots programmed to kill Swann and Mathilde. Despite his injuries, Bond shoots Safin dead and opens the facility's blast doors but remains on the island to ensure that the nanobots cannot harm Swann and Mathilde. Bond radios Swann to say goodbye and express his love for her and Mathilde. Swann confirms that Mathilde is his daughter, and Bond assures her that he knew all along. Bond is killed as missiles destroy the facility.

At MI6, M, Moneypenny, Nomi, Q, and Bill Tanner drink to Bond's memory. Driving Mathilde to Matera, Swann begins to tell her about her father, James Bond.
