James Bond is enjoying some company in a log cabin in Austria, when he is called away to a mission. Skiing his way down the mountain, Bond is chased by Soviet agents, and has to jump over the edge of the cliff to escape, after killing of one the Russians. His parachute opens to reveal a union jack, just as the theme song Nobody Does It Better begins playing.
Bond's mission is to investigate the theft and disappearance of British and Russian submarines. His first lead is an auction of leaked microfilm plans for the positions of British submarines, by rich businessman Max Kalber. While there, Bond meets Soviet agent Anya "XXX" Amasova, who is also bidding for the microfilm.
There is tension between the two spies, but M, and Amasova's boss General Gogol force the two to co-operate, to ease relations between their two countries.
They track the submarine thefts back to Karl Stromberg, a rich owner of a large shipping firm. Amasova learns that the Soviet agent that Bond killed in Austria was in fact her boyfriend. She swears to kill Bond after the mission is over, to avenge the death, despite Bond's explanation of the circumstances.
Bond joins an American submarine crew to survey Stromberg's Atlantis hideout, but the submarine is hijacked by Stromberg's huge hollowed out tanker. The crew is imprisoned and Stromberg reveals his plans to destroy New York city and Moscow with nuclear weapons, starting a war between the two nations.
Bond manages to escape, and frees the American crews, as well as the British and Russian crews that had been captured at the start of the film. Breaking into Stromberg's weapon stores, the crews take rifles and grenades and kill the majority of Stromberg's guards. The remaining villains hide in the tanker's control room, sealed behind thick armoured walls.
Undeterred, Bond takes the detonation device out of a nuclear warhead, and blows a hole in the control room, taking full control of the tanker. Bond then rescues Amasova and stops the nuclear bombs on route, reprogramming their paths. Bond kills Stromberg and escapes in his luxury escape pod. The mission complete, Amasova pulls out a gun, aims it at Bond and shoots... past him at the bottle of Champagne, forgiving him for her boyfriend's death.
I hope you have just as much finding them as I did hiding them. If you find any of the caches along the way in need of attention, please contact me via my GC.com profile.
