Die Another Day follows James Bond as he is sent to trace a link between a North Korean terrorist and a diamond mogul financing an international space weapon. The mission pulls him through a chain of danger that moves from covert investigation to a larger struggle with global stakes. As Bond closes in, the film keeps shifting between espionage, pursuit and high-tech threat. It is built around the pressure of stopping a weapon before it can be used.
