The World Is Not Enough

Oil tycoon Sir Robert King is killed by a bomb inside MI6 itself, and Bond chases the assassin down the Thames to the Millennium Dome. The money points to Renard, a terrorist with a bullet in his brain that has left him unable to feel pain. M assigns Bond to protect Robert's daughter, Elektra King, whom Renard once kidnapped. In Kazakhstan, Renard steals plutonium from a warhead, and Bond meets nuclear physicist Christmas Jones. Bit by bit, Bond realizes Elektra is the mastermind: she killed her father and takes M hostage. The plan is to blow up a submarine reactor in Istanbul to wipe out rival pipelines. Valentin Zukovsky helps Bond before dying, Bond kills Elektra and, aboard the sub, impales Renard with the plutonium rod.
