Quick recap

A Moonraker space shuttle is hijacked in mid-air, and Bond goes to California to see its maker, industrialist Hugo Drax. There he meets astronaut Holly Goodhead, who works for the CIA. The trail runs through Venice, Rio de Janeiro and the Amazon, where Drax has a pyramid base. The plan: release a nerve gas from orbit that kills only humans and repopulate Earth with hand-picked couples waiting on a space station hidden from radar. Bond and Holly stow away on a shuttle and knock out the station's cloaking, and U.S. space marines attack. Steel-toothed henchman Jaws realizes he has no place in Drax's perfect world and switches sides. Bond sends Drax out into space and destroys the gas globes.
