Short description

A newly-developed microchip designed by Zorin Industries for the British Government that can survive the electromagnetic radiation caused by a nuclear explosion has landed in the hands of the KGB. James Bond must find out how and why. His suspicions soon lead him to big industry leader Max Zorin who forms a plan to destroy his only competition in Silicon Valley by triggering a massive earthquake in the San Francisco Bay.

What's left behind the scenes

Zorin was supposed to be played by David Bowie, but the studio gave the role to Christopher Walken in order to have an Oscar winner play the villain for the first time.
The set where James Bond films were always shot burned to the ground before filming.
The last Bond film starring Roger Moore.
Dolph Lundgren got a small role in the film 'through connections' – because he worked as Grace Jones' bodyguard.
At the end of the film, KGB General Gogol awards Bond the Order of Lenin, stating that agent 007 is the first foreigner to be awarded this honor. However, the Order of Lenin has been repeatedly awarded to foreign citizens since its inception.
Silicon Valley consists only of offices and research laboratories, but not manufacturing. None of the high-tech companies produce microchips here. All production is located in China and Southeast Asia.
