From Russia with Love -- James Bond (Sean Connery) delivers another blistering, thrill-a- minute caper as he attempts to thwart the enemy from seizing a decoder that can access Russian state secrets. Robert Shaw co-stars.

The Cold War's about to get colder in Bond number two...which sends Secret Agent 007 to mysterious, exotic Istanbul to lift a top-secret Russian decoding machine from the Embassy...and where Bond falls for a Russian cipher clerk who is an unwitting pawn of Spectre, an international crime syndicate. Based on the novel by Ian Fleming.

American mercenary Rick Masters (Jack Palance) lives a life of carefree debauchery in Hong Kong until oppressed peasants from a nearby island hire him to help them defeat cruel crime lord Patrai (Fernando Lamas), who wants to claim valuable cargo that washed up on their shores. The volatile loot -- a shipload of nitroglycerin -- is worth a cool million, and Rick enlists two karate experts and a tour guide (Aldo Ray) for the explosive fight.

James Bond willingly falls into an assassination ploy involving a naive Russian beauty in order to retrieve a Soviet encryption device that was stolen by SPECTRE.
