The untainted cradle of the heavens

A James Bond movie directed by Lewis Gilbert in 1979, starring Roger Moore as the agent 007, Lois Chiles as the Bond girl Dr. Goodhead, Bernard Lee as Bond's superior 'M' (the head of MI6), Desmond Llewelyn as 'Q' (the head of Q division), Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny (MI6 secretary) and Michael Lonsdale as Hugo Drax, the main antagonist, and Richard Kiel as his henchman Jaws. Title song performed by Shirley Bassey. A shuttle is hijacked in mid-air and James Bond is called to investigate. The adventure travels from California to Venice and Rio and, obviously, outer space. Absolutely routine stuff for the agent.
