Based on the novel by Ian Fleming, Dr. No features Sean Connery in his film debut as James Bond, Agent 007. In the Carribean, mysterious energy waves are interfering with U.S. missile launches and it is Bond’s mission to solve the crisis. With the help of CIA agent Felix Leiter (Jack Lord) and the beautiful Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress, She), Bond begins to unravel the truth. He must square off against the S.P.E.C.T.R.E. organization and their evil plans for world domination.
