Thunderball

Dir. Terence Young. 1965, 130 mins. U.K./U.S. DCP. With Sean Connery, Claudine Auger, Adolfo Celi, Luciana Paluzzi. Following the one-two-three punch of Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger, this fourth entry in the James Bond franchise submerges suave star Sean Connery into a whirlwind of deep-sea intrigue, featuring incredible underwater stunts. Here, Bond is on the trail of the SPECTRE organization, which has stolen a pair of atomic bombs, pursuing the criminals to the Bahamas. Boasting an incredibly complex and expensive shoot—and, ultimately, record box office grosses—Thunderball features dazzling work by recurring Bond stuntman Bob Simmons, and is renowned for its stunts, famously putting an understandably jittery Connery in the path of a real shark, as well as its Oscar-winning special effects.
