Description of this License to Kill Poster
"License to Kill" is a 1989 action-thriller film, the sixteenth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. It is the second and final film starring Timothy Dalton as MI6 agent James Bond. The story shows him resigning from MI6 to pursue drug lord Franz Sanchez, who ordered an attack on Bond's CIA friend Felix Leiter, and the murder of Felix's wife after their marriage.
“License to Kill” was the fifth and final Bond film directed by John Glen, the last to feature Robert Brown as Mr and Caroline Bliss as Miss Moneypenny. It was also the last to feature the work of screenwriter Richard Maibaum, title designer Maurice Binder, and producer Albert R. Broccoli, all of whom died in subsequent years.
"License to Kill" was the first Bond film not to use the title of an Ian Fleming story. Originally titled "License Revoked", the name was changed during post-production due to American audiences' association of the term with driver's license. Although its plot is largely original, the film contains elements of Fleming's novel "Live and Let Die" and the short story "The Hildebrand Rarity," woven with a sabotage premise influenced by Akira Kurosawa's film, "Yojimbo ".
For budgetary reasons, "License to Kill" became the first Bond film shot entirely outside the United Kingdom: principal photography took place in Mexico and the United States, while interiors were filmed at Estudios Churubusco instead of Pinewood Studios. The film grossed over $156 million worldwide and received generally positive reviews, praising the stunts but criticizing its darker tone, which was reflected in Dalton's portrayal of Bond.
DEA agents pick up MI6 agent James Bond and his friend, CIA agent Felix Leiter, en route to Leiter's wedding in Key West, to help them capture drug lord Franz Sanchez. Bond and Leiter capture Sanchez by attaching a hook and cable to Sanchez's plane, pulling him out of the air with a Coast Guard helicopter. Then, Bond and Leiter parachute to the church in time for the ceremony.
Sanchez bribes DEA agent Ed Killifer and escapes. Meanwhile, Sanchez's henchmen, Dario and his team, attack Leiter and his wife Della and take Leiter to an aquarium owned by one of Sanchez's accomplices, Milton Krest. Sanchez lowers Leiter into a pool housing a great white shark. When Bond learns that Sanchez has escaped, he returns to Leiter's house to find that Leiter has been mutilated and Della has been murdered. Bond, along with Leiter's friend Sharkey, begins his own investigation. They discover a marine research center run by Krest, where Sanchez has hidden cocaine and a submarine for smuggling.
After Bond kills Killifer using the same shark tank used for Leiter, M meets Bond at the Hemingway House in Key West and gives him a mission to Istanbul, Turkey. Bond resigns after refusing the mission, but M instead suspends Bond and revokes his license to kill. Bond becomes an independent agent, although he later receives unauthorized assistance from Q.
Bond boards Krest's ship Wavekrest and thwarts Sanchez's latest drug shipment, stealing five million dollars in the process. He discovers that Sharkey was killed by Sanchez's henchmen. Bond meets and partners with DEA pilot and informant Pam Bouvier at a bar in Bimini, and travels with her to the Republic of Isthmus. He seeks employment with Sanchez by posing as a hitman. Two Hong Kong Narcotics Bureau agents thwart Bond's assassination attempt on Sanchez and take him to an abandoned warehouse. They are joined by Fallon, an MI6 agent sent by M to apprehend Bond. Sanchez's men rescue him and kill the agents, mistaking them for the assassins. Later, with the help of Bouvier, Q and Sanchez's girlfriend, Lupe Lamora, Bond places the blame on Krest by planting the $5 million on Wavekrest. Sanchez locks Krest in a decompression chamber and cuts the oxygen cord, causing an explosive decompression that results in Krest's death. Bond is then admitted to the inner circle.
Sanchez takes Bond to his base, disguised as the headquarters of a religious sect. Bond discovers that Sanchez's scientists can dissolve cocaine in gasoline and sell it disguised as fuel to Asian drug dealers. Televangelist Joe Butcher serves as an intermediary, working under Sanchez's business manager, Truman-Lodge, who uses Butcher's television shows to communicate with Sanchez's clients in the United States. During Sanchez's presentation to potential Asian clients, Dario enters the room and recognizes Bond. Bond causes a fire in the laboratory, but is captured again and placed on the conveyor belt which drops the brick of cocaine into a large processing machine. Bouvier arrives and shoots Dario, allowing Bond to pull Dario into the processing machine, killing him.
Sanchez and most of the others fled as the fire consumed his base, taking with it four tanker trucks filled with the mixture of cocaine and gasoline. Bond pursues them in a plane, with Bouvier at the controls. During a stunt-filled chase through the desert, Bond destroys three of the fuel trucks and kills several of Sanchez's men. Sanchez attacks Bond with a machete aboard the last remaining fuel truck, which crashes down a hill. A gasoline-soaked Sanchez attempts to kill Bond with his machete. Bond then reveals his lighter - the Leiters' gift for being the chief best man at their wedding - and sets Sanchez on fire. Sanchez staggers into the destroyed tanker truck, causing a large explosion and killing himself. Bouvier arrives shortly after and picks up Bond.
Later, a party is held at Sanchez's former residence. Bond receives a call from Leiter telling him that M praised him for his work and is offering him his job. He then rejects Lupe's advances and seduces Bouvier instead.
