Thunderball

Synopsis

Sean Connery made his fourth outing as 007 with this hugely enjoyable, escapist adventure in which crime syndicate SPECTRE steals two nuclear warheads. This has all we've come to expect from the series: gadgets galore (including the iconic jet pack), over-the-top villains who kill people with sharks rather than simply shooting them, and a thumping theme song (courtesy of Tom Jones, who apparently nearly fainted from holding the end note for so long).
