The Living Daylights

In his debut film as Super Agent James Bond, Timothy Dalton is suave, cunning, and deadly. Agent 007, armed with razor-sharp intuition, a gadget-laden Aston Martin and his license to destroy, must battle diabolical gun traffickers who are united in a horrific plot world dominance that could be connected with the high command of the Soviet military.

With this deliberately buttoned-down and real-world entry, Roger Moore’s 007 entered the 1980’s, eschewing the underwater fortress and deep-space adventures for this old-school Cold War thriller. This “no muss, no fuss” entry, featuring some of the better vehicle chases of the Moore era, earned about as much on a slightly smaller budget, whether or not audiences embraced Moonraker due to its outer-space climax.
