Brosnan's third Bond film has 007 assigned to protect the daughter of a murdered billionaire and, along the way, unraveling a plot to send oil prices soaring by causing a nuclear meltdown. Robert Carlyle plays the central villain, terrorist Victor "Renard" Zokas, and Bond deals with two very different women in his life: Elektra (Sophie Marceau), who he's assigned to protect but has suspicions about, and Denise Richards as nuclear physicist Dr. Christmas Jones.
