James Bond Collections - Goldfinger (1964-Sean Connery)

In the pre-title sequence, James Bond infiltrates a Mexican drug lord's base by water wearing a dry suit with a snorkel camouflaged as a seagull. He destroys a hidden building with plastic explosives and electrocutes an assassin in a bathtub.
The main story begins in Miami Beach, Florida, at the Fontainebleau Hotel with Central Intelligence Agency agent Felix Leiter delivering a message to Bond from M to watch Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe). Bond foils Goldfinger's cheating at gin rummy by distracting his employee, Jill Masterson . After blackmailing Goldfinger into losing, Bond and Jill consummate their new relationship in Bond's hotel suite.
Following a dry remark putting down The Beatles while looking in the fridge for a bottle of Dom Perignon '53, Bond is knocked out by Goldfinger's Korean manservant Oddjob, who then covers Jill in gold paint, supposedly killing her by epidermal suffocation.
In London, Bond learns that his true mission is determining how Goldfinger transports gold internationally. Prior to his assignment he is issued an Aston Martin DB5 from Q modified with several gadgets, including an ejector seat that is much to Bond's amusement, but that is later used during a chase scene. Bond arranges to meet Goldfinger socially and wins a high-stakes golf game against Goldfinger with a recovered Nazi gold bar at stake.
Goldfinger, who was caught cheating during the game, warns Bond to stay out of his business by having Oddjob decapitate a statue by throwing his steel-rimmed top hat. Undeterred, Bond follows him to Switzerland, where he unintentionally foils an assassination attempt on Goldfinger by Tilly Masterson to avenge the death of her sister, Jill.
Bond sneaks into Goldfinger's plant and overhears him talking to a Red Chinese agent named Mr. Ling about "Operation Grand Slam". Leaving, Bond encounters Tilly as she is about to make a second attempt on Goldfinger's life, but they accidentally trip an alarm. Bond and Tilly attempt to escape, but Oddjob breaks Tilly's neck with his hat. Bond is soon captured after a car chase and Goldfinger has Bond tied to a gold table underneath an industrial laser, which slowly begins to slice the table in half. Bond then lies to Goldfinger that British Intelligence knows about Grand Slam, causing Goldfinger to spare Bond's life in order to mislead MI6 and the CIA into believing that Bond has things well in hand.Bond is transported by Goldfinger's private Lockheed JetStar, flown by his personal pilot, Pussy Galore, to his stud farm near Fort Knox, Kentucky. Leiter notifies M that Bond has crossed the Atlantic, and M requests that the CIA keep an eye on him. Bond escapes and witnesses Goldfinger's meeting with US mafiosi, who have brought the materials he needs for Operation Grand Slam. At the end of the briefing, one of the mafiosi, Mr. Solo, asks Goldfinger to pay him immediately, rather than wait a few days for the larger return from Operation Grand Slam, as Goldfinger has just outlined. Goldfinger accepts and leads him out of the conference room; Bond slips his homing device into Solo's pocket. The rest of the mafia are then killed by a gas Goldfinger claims could render people unconscious for 24 hours. Solo is escorted to the airport in a 1960s Lincoln Continental driven by Oddjob, who kills him with a silenced .45 M1911A1 pistol before continuing on to a wrecking yard where the car is crushed into a cube with the body inside, destroying Bond's homing device in the process. This also stumps Leiter and a fellow CIA agent, who had been tracking the homing device as it moved.
Bond is recaptured after hearing the details of Operation Grand Slam, but soon learns additional information from Goldfinger himself while having drinks with the supervillain. He intends to irradiate the US gold supply stored at the United States Gold Depository at Fort Knox with an atomic device that was provided by Mr. Ling. The device will render the US gold supply useless for 58 years, which will greatly increase the value of Goldfinger's own gold. This will also give the Chinese a world advantage resulting from economic chaos in the West.
Operation Grand Slam begins with the women pilots of Pussy Galore's Flying Circus spraying the nerve gas over Fort Knox to dispatch its garrison. However, Bond had seduced Pussy and persuaded her to contact the CIA and replace the poison with a harmless gas. The military personnel of Fort Knox convincingly play dead until they are certain that they can prevent the criminals escaping the base with the bomb. They choose this plan because Goldfinger had earlier suggested that if thwarted at Fort Knox, there was no telling where he might explode the device, so the CIA intends to trap both Goldfinger and the bomb beyond any reasonable hope of escape.
With the military forces "neutralized", Goldfinger's Chinese agents blow up the gates of Fort Knox with dynamite and gain entry to the loading dock with the industrial laser. As they gain access to the vault itself, Goldfinger arrives in a helicopter with the atomic device. Oddjob handcuffs Bond to the device and lowers both into the vault. As Goldfinger and his men prepare to leave, the Army troops attack and a gun battle between Goldfinger's men and the soldiers errupts outside Fort Knox. Goldfinger has planned for every contingency, however: he takes off his coat, revealing a US Army uniform and kills Mr. Ling and the troops seeking to open the vault, before escaping himself.
Goldfinger's henchman Kisch, forced to retreat to the vault, intends to shut off the bomb but Oddjob throws him off a balcony to his death. Bond retrieves the man's keys and unlocks his handcuffs, but before he can disarm the bomb, Oddjob races down the stairs and attacks. Bond manages to duck under Oddjob's lethal hat and the ensuing fight proves that Oddjob is the superior combatant. A second hat-throw by Oddjob also misses and cuts an electrical line, with one of the severed cables lying loosely on the floor. Finally, Bond retrieves the hat and tries to throw it himself, without success. It wedges tightly between two of the vault bars. When Oddjob tries to recover it, Bond reaches the severed cable and brushes the exposed wiring to the metal bars, electrocuting Oddjob through the metal in his own hat.
Turning to the bomb, Bond manages to force the lock by hammering on it with a pair of gold bars, but the mechanism inside baffles him. With the clock winding down, Bond tries to randomly yank out a bundle of the cables, but an atomic specialist reaches past him and simply turns off the device with a switch, seven seconds before detonation, the American troops having forced entry into the vault in the meantime. The stopped clock is shown stuck on "007".
With Fort Knox safe, Bond is invited to the White House for a meeting with President Lyndon Johnson. He boards a military Lockheed JetStar for Washington, D.C., but Goldfinger has forced Pussy Galore to hijack it and fly to Cuba. Bond and Goldfinger struggle for the latter's gold-plated .38 Colt Official Police revolver and shoot a window, creating an explosive decompression of the aircraft. Goldfinger is blown out of the cabin through the window. With the plane out of control Bond rescues Galore and they parachute safely from the aircraft before it crashes. In the final scene, Leiter is shown flying over them in a helicopter, searching for Bond, who is far too busy having sex with Pussy to care about rescue at the present time.
