Quantum Of Solace - Synopsis
24th January 2008
Official Synopsis
QUANTUM OF SOLACE continues
the high octane adventures of James Bond (DANIEL CRAIG) in CASINO
ROYALE. Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the
urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his
determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (JUDI DENCH)
interrogate Mr White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN) who reveals the
organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex
and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Forensic intelligence links
an MI6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case
of mistaken identity introduces Bond
to the beautiful but feisty Camille (OLGA KURYLENKO), a
woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight
to Dominic Greene (MATHIEU AMALRIC), a ruthless business
man and major force within the mysterious organisation.
On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South
America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take
total control of one of the world’s most important
natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General
Medrano (JOAQUIN COSIO). Using his associates in the organisation,
and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and
the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the
existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the
General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly
barren piece of land.
In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies
with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he
gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal
of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the
terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister
plan and stop his organisation.
