Moonraker (1979) is the eleventh spy film in the James Bond series,
and the fourth to star Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James
Bond. The film, directed by Lewis Gilbert, co-stars Lois Chiles,
Michael Lonsdale, Corinne Clery, and Richard Kiel. In the film,
Bond is sent to investigate the mysterious theft of a space
shuttle, leading him to Hugo Drax, the billionaire owner of the
shuttle-manufacturing firm. Along with the space scientist Dr.
Holly Goodhead, who later is identified as a also being a Central
Intelligence Agency agent investigating Mr. Drax, Bond follows the
trail of clues from California to Venice, Italy, Rio de Janeiro,
and the Amazon rain forest, and finally into outer space in a bid
to prevent a genocidal plot to wipe out the world population and to
re-create humanity with a master race. Moonraker was intended by
its creator Ian Fleming to be turned into a film even before he
completed the novel in 1954, since he based the novel on a
manuscript he had written even earlier than this. The producers of
the James Bond film series had originally intended to publish
Moonraker in 1973 with Roger Moore making his debut as Bond, but
the making of this movie was put on hold and finally released in
1979 to coincide with the science fiction genre which had become
extremely popular during this period with films such as Star Wars
(1977). Derek Meddings, a long-time contributor to the James Bond
series, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects
for the special effects used in this movie and its space scenes.
Moonraker, despite receiving negative reviews from most of the film
critics of the time, was the highest grossing film of the series
until the Pierce Brosnan Bond film GoldenEye. Moonraker earned a
total of $210,300,000 world wide - surpassing the earlier Bond
movie The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Moonraker was also noted for its
high production cost for a Bond film, spending almost twice as much
money as the preceding James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved
Me.
