James Bond collections - The Living Daylights (1987-Timothy Dalton)

Agents 002, 004, and 007 parachute onto the Rock of Gibraltar as part of a war games exercise to test its defences. 002 is immediately captured by a Special Air Service (SAS) soldier, while Bond and 004 begin scaling the cliffs to the base. As they ascend, an assassin appears and, after shooting an SAS guard, sends a carabiner-attached tag reading СМЕРть Шпионам, Smiert' Spionam down the rope before cutting it, sending 004 to a spectacular Bond-style death. Bond chases the assassin in an explosives-laden Land Rover, which eventually careens off of a cliff and explodes in mid-air. Bond parachutes towards a nearby yacht, where a woman is talking on the phone, stating she is bored and wishes she could meet a "real man". Bond lands on the yacht takes the phone, and makes a call to Exercise Control to say that he will be reporting in one hour. The woman offers him a glass of champagne, saying "Won't you join me?" Eyeing her and the drink, Bond raises the phone again and corrects his report time to two hours.
Bond is assigned to assist the defection of a KGB officer, General Georgi Koskov , in Bratislava alongside his MI6 contact Saunders, by eliminating any snipers that may prevent his escape. During the escape, Bond spots a sniper, whom he identifies as one of the orchestra's cellists. Suspecting that she is not an actual assassin, he shoots the rifle in her hand causing a significant but minor injury. Koskov is safely smuggled to Austria and then transported to a countryside manor in England. Koskov informs MI6 that the KGB's old policy of Smert' Špionam, has been revived by General Leonid Pushkin, the new head of the KGB. He presents them a list of British and American targets. At the same time, Necros, an assassin, infiltrates the manor, kills several people, burns the list of targets, blows up the building, and abducts Koskov by helicopter.
Bond is assigned by M to kill Pushkin, and he first travels back to Bratislava to investigate the connection with the cellist/sniper. On learning that the bullets in her rifle were blanks and that she was Koskov's girlfriend, he begins to suspect that Koskov staged his "defection." He finds the sniper, Kara Milovy, and the two escape to Austria. At the Wurstelprater amusement park in Vienna, he meets up with Saunders, who reveals a link between Koskov and arms dealer Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker), whose offer to sell the KGB high-tech weapons in Tangier was declined. Saunders is killed when a sliding door rigged by Necros crushes him. Necros, disguised as a balloon salesman, leaves a balloon with 'Smiert Spionam' written on it.
In Tangier, Bond infiltrates Pushkin's hotel room at gun point. Pushkinreveals to Bond that he had been investigating Koskov for the embezzlement of government funds. Bond and Pushkin then join forces and fake an assassination at the opera house, inducing Whitaker and Koskov to believe Pushkin is dead. Bond is also reunited with his old CIA friend Felix Leiter, who is also investigating Whitaker's deals. Meanwhile, Milovy contacts Koskov, who convinces her that Bond is a KGB agent and persuades her to help capture him. With Bond as their captive, they fly to a Soviet air base in Afghanistan, where Koskov betrays Milovy and imprisons her along with Bond. Bond and Milovy escape from the air base's prison, and in doing so free a condemned prisoner, Kamran Shah, a leader of the local Mujahideen. Shah leads Bond and Milovy to the Mujahideen's base, where Bond informs Shah of Whitaker's plan to sell Koskov's Soviets with weapons that could be used against the Afghan resistance. The next day Bond and Milovy follows the Mujahadeen to a deal with Kosvov and his men, seeing bags of "medical supplies" but discovers that the bags are actually contained with opium by sticking his knife into one of the bags, which he discovers that Whitaker and Koskov are paying diamonds for a large $500 million shipment of opium in order to turn a huge profit, with enough left over to supply the Soviets with their arms. While Whitaker gets rich, Koskov plans to use his new-found fame to take control of the KGB after Pushkin's demise.
Bond sneaks aboard the opium-loaded truck without Necros having to notice. Milovy noticed that Bond is in danger on the truck on his way to the air base, she decides to rescue him and raid the air base along with the Mujahadeen. Bond plants a bomb hidden in a bag to be placed in the back of the cargo plane transporting the opium, but Koskov and his men recognises him just as he is leaving since Bond forgot to cover his face with the cloth. Bond hijacks the plane, while the Mujahideen attack the airbase on horseback and engage the Soviets in a battle. During the chaos, Milovy joins Bond on a jeep in the back of the plane as they take off and later assumes the controls while Bond leaves to defuse his bomb. Necros, however, is hiding on board the plane and attacks Bond. After a struggle, Bond cuts the net containing the opium and Necros falls to his death when Bond cuts his own bootlace when Necros held no to his boot before he can fall. Bond immediately deactivates the bomb. Milovy flies over Shah and his surviving Mujahideen, who are being pursued by two Soviet armored cars across a bridge. Bond drops his bomb onto the bridge, killing the Soviets and ending their pursuit of Shah and his men. When their plane runs out of fuel, Bond and Milovy escape on the jeep, while the plane crashes into the hills.
Bond returns to Whitaker's residence in Tangier to arrest him. Whitaker resists, using his gadgets and weapons on display, but Bond kills him. Russian troops storm in and Koskov is arrested. Despite his attempts to explain everything away, Pushkin orders him flown back to Moscow in a "diplomatic bag," indicating that his dead body is what will be making the return flight. Later, at a concert in London, M and the now retired General Gogol praise Milovy for her performance. She then reunites with Bond as the film concludes.
