Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Goldeneye
Alec Trevelyan, who worked with Bond, steals a weapon called GoldenEye and wants to use it against the financial city of London. James Bond must stop the man who knows him best and stop him before everything electronic is destroyed. Natalya Simonova is helping Bond, but a deadly opponment is in Bond's way: Xenia Zargevna Onatopp. And as the name suggests, she's on top of things.
--Bjorn Bakker, Resident Scholar

In Goldeneye, Everyone's favourite spy, James Bond returns in an action packed adventure.
When the USSR develop a secret weapon satalite, named the goldeneye, nothing seems wrong. But then former 006 agent, Alec Trevelyan steps in and Hijacks the Goldeneye. He sets it to fire at London- revenge from over 10 years ago.
Enter James Bond and Natalya Simournova- a Russian Computer Operator who survived a Goldeneye blast. Can they save the world AND make time for sex- watch and see.

--Frederick McGraff, Resident Scholar

The debut of Pierce Brosnan as agent 007 finds our favorite spy in Russia to uncover a plot to use a device known as Goldeneye to wipe out all electrical systems in a targeted area. Aided by a beautiful Russian government employee it's a race against time to set things right before chaos erupts. Bond...only Bond! Great flick!
--Alan, Resident Scholar
