Timothy Dalton’s first appearance as "Bond...James Bond." Bond is assigned to aid in the defection of KGB agent Jeroen Krabbe and must prevent an unknown sniper from killing Krabbe before he can reach the West. The mysterious assailant turns out to be the luscious Maryam d'Abo who, like practically everyone in the film except Bond, is not all that she seems. Bond must stop a scheme to trade several million dollars worth of diamonds for weapons, which will be shipped off to mercenaries worldwide.
