Pierce Brosnan's 2nd appearance as 007. This time Bond is up against world wide media baron, Elliot Carver. Carver's diabolical plan, getting news coverage by creating it as well as getting his hands on some nukes and causing and all and out war between two countries. It's up to Bond to save the day. Widely successful followup to Goldeneye.
