"Casino Royale is the 21st James Bond film adventure and stars Daniel Craig in his debut as "007." The film is based on creator Ian Fleming's first novel about the debonair and dangerous British secret agent. Casino Royale introduces JAMES BOND before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status.

Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar where he is to spy on a terrorist, MOLLAKA (Sebastien Foucan). Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters DIMITRIOS (Simon Abkarian) and his girlfriend, SOLANGE (Caterina Murino). He learns that Dimitrios is involved with LE CHIFFRE (Mads Mikkelsen), banker to the world's terrorist organizations.

Produced by Albert R. Broccoli's EON Productions' Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, Casino Royale is directed by Martin Campbell from a screenplay by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Paul Haggis."
