Secret agent James Bond battles the all-enveloping tentacles of an international crime syndicate called SPECTRE. The organization's mad plan for world supremacy unfolds with the icy efficiency of a chessmaster's complex strategy, and if they succeed, the antagonism of the cold war will be pushed from deep-freeze to the supernova of atomic oblivion. But our man Bond dispatches sultry spies, madmen, and double agents with the same coolness he displays while downing martinis and making love to beautiful blondes. In this, the second of the series, Bond travels to Turkey to meet a mysterious Russian woman who claims to have fallen in love with his photograph. She offers him a secret translating device if he will join her, although he does not know that she has been put up to the task by Rosa Klebb, formerly of the KGB, who has gone to work for SPECTRE. It's Bond's assignment to get the girl and the machine back to England--and to do it, of course, in style. [More]

Reviews for From Russia with Love
Sophisticated? Well, not really. But fast, smart, shrewdly directed and capably performed.
From Russia with Love is a preposterous, skillful slab of hardhitting, sexy hokum.
With a tight, witty script and unforgettable baddies, this is one of the very best entries in the series, stylishly cementing the formula -- for good or ill.
For my money, still the best Bond, with a screwball plotline that keeps the locales changing and the surprises coming.
ce deuxième opus continue d'exploiter avec un plaisir coupable les possibilités infinies de cet univers cinématographique fonctionnant uniquement à la testostérone
a James Bond movie with the sensibilities of a classic Cold War thriller
Bond number two and probably the best of the lot, with a remarkably gritty, wittily exciting plot.
007 is very much with us again, and anyone who hasn't yet got to know him is urged to do so right away!
This film began the fine tradition of deviating from Ian Fleming's novels, which gave us the suave, sophisticated Bond over Fleming's monosyllabic misogynist.
Classic Bond. More plot heavy, but still has a great gypsy fight, train fight and helicoptor boat chase. Rosa Klebb is a classic.
