Sean Connery returns as an older James bond in this 1983 remake of Thunderball. James Bond must save the world from a rich, evil-genius who threatens to destroy the earth with nuclear warheads. Connery himself is all right and a pleasure to watch, but the plot is uneven and usually tedious. Certainly not one of the best Bonds ever made, but fans (especially Connery fans) are sure to enjoy this one. Some people don't consider this a "true" James Bond flick since Albert Broccoli had nothing to do with it. Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) is in this!
