Out of this world

Created by former intelligence officer and author Ian Fleming in 1953, James Bond is a fearless, charismatic and deadly British Secret Service agent with a ‘licence to kill’. Also known by the codename 007, he has been portrayed by six actors – Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig – in 25 thrilling movies released by EON Productions since 1962.

In Moonraker, the theft of a Space Shuttle leads Bond to Hugo Drax, an aerospace billionaire bent on destroying humanity except for a chosen few who will create a new master race on board his space station. Played by Roger Moore, 007 must foil steel-toothed Jaws and venture into orbit to end the nightmare scenario.
