Without a doubt, this is the best of the serious Bond films to date. The script is excellent and the plot is very believable. In return for amnesty after her defection, a Russian agent also promises to deliver a decoding device that will help the West in its struggles against the Soviets.
Bond is sent to retrieve the girl and the device, but terrorist bad guys are sent to do the same thing. They also happen to want Bond dead for killing Dr. No, one of their associates, in the previous film.
Romance and suspense reign supreme in what is still the most well-written Bond film yet. Q makes his first official appearance and does provide James with a few gadgets, but they are all fairly conceivable in real life. The final showdown on a speeding train and the beautiful theme song make this film one that most can enjoy.
