Description of this Operation Thunder Poster
Operation Thunder is a 1965 spy film, the fourth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, starring Sean Connery in the fictional role of MI6 agent James Bond. It is an adaptation of the eponymous novel by Ian Fleming (1961), based on an original screenplay by Jack Whittingham, conceived from a story imagined by Kevin McClory, Whittingham and Fleming. It is the third and final Bond film to be directed by Terence Young, with a screenplay by Richard Maibaum and John Hopkins.
The film follows Bond's mission to recover two NATO atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, who demand a ransom of £100 million in diamonds from the world by threatening to destroy an unspecified metropolis in the United Kingdom. or in the United States (later it will be Miami). The search leads Bond to the Bahamas, where he meets Emilio Largo, SPECTER's number two, who plays cards and wears an eyepatch. Supported by CIA agent Felix Leiter and Largo's mistress Domino Derval, the search for Bond culminates in an underwater battle with Largo's henchmen. The film's complex production included four different units and approximately a quarter of the film includes underwater scenes.[5] Thunder was the first Bond film shot in Panavision on the big screen and the first to be over two hours long.
Although intended by the producers of the Bond film series, Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, as the first entry in the franchise, Thunder was associated with a legal conflict in 1961 when Fleming's former collaborators, McClory and Whittingham, sued him shortly after the novel's publication in 1961, claiming he had based it on the screenplay the trio had written for a film translation of James Bond. [The lawsuit was settled out of court and Broccoli and Saltzman, fearing a rival film from McClory, allowed him to retain some copyright to the novel's plot and characters, and to receive exclusive producer credit on this film; Broccoli and Saltzman served as executive producers.[8]
The film was exceptionally successful: its worldwide box office receipts of $141.2 million exceeded not only those of each of its predecessors, but also those of each of the five Bond films that followed it. Thunder remains the most financially successful film in the series in North America, after adjusting for ticket price inflation.[9] In 1966, John Stears won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects,[10] and production designer Ken Adam was nominated by the BAFTA for an award. [11] Some critics and viewers praised the film and called it a welcome addition to the series, while others found the aquatic action repetitive and the film's length excessive.[citation needed] 1983, Warner Bros. released a second film adaptation of the novel under the title Never Again, with McClory as executive producer.
