A View to a Kill (1985)

Max Zorin, played by Christopher Walken

James Bond is sent to Siberia to recover a microchip a fellow agent had retrieved. Bond finds the body of the agent, and the microchip is hidden in a necklace. Bond is then chased through the snowy mountains. He escapes, and returns to London.

Q examines the microchip, and discovers it is an exact copy of microchips created by Zorin Industries. Bond travels to a horse track and observes the company's owner, Max Zorin. Bond meets  an MI6 ally, Sir Godfrey Tibbett, who is a horse trainer. Zorin's horse wins, but seems very excited and hard to calm down. Tibbett tells Bond he believes that Zorin is using drugs on his horse, although nothing shows up on the pre-race drug tests.

Bond then travels to Zorin's French estate, where Zorin is holding his annual horse sale. Tibbett also tags along, and both discover that Zorin is using remote-controlled, drug-releasing microchips that guarnatees Zorin's horse to won everytime. Zorin bodyguard, May Day, realizes the two agents discovered Zorin's secret, and assassinates Tibbett. Bond manages to escape, and goes to San Francisco.

In San Francisco, Bond tracks down a geologist, Stacey Sutton, who was at Zorin's estate in France. The two discover that Zorin is planning to flood Silicon Valley, giving Zorin a huge monopoly in the microchip market.

Will Zorin's plan work? Watch the movie to find out!

A View to a Kill may have been the worst Bond movie ever, and definitely in the worst five. The main problem is Roger Moore, who plays Bond. At the time, Moore was 57 years old. He just didn't have the Bond attractiveness anymore. He looked like a retiree. Another thing was one scene where Zorin and his assistant annhilate miners in the mines. It was a no mercy slaughter, and to me, that isn't James Bond material. The one thing I do like is the theme song of the movie, played by Duran Duran.
