Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less
dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00"
status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly-promoted 007 on
his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to
Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who
is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places
Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what
value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le
Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine,
and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.
