Story & names

Set during the Cold War and its aftermath, GoldenEye 007 follows James Bond, an agent of the British Secret Intelligence Service. The story opens with a covert operation at a Soviet chemical weapons facility, where Bond and fellow 00-agent Alec Trevelyan infiltrate the site before the mission goes wrong. Years later, Bond is drawn into an investigation surrounding GoldenEye, a space-based weapon capable of firing an electromagnetic pulse that disables electronics across a targeted area. As the trail leads through Russia and beyond, Bond works alongside computer programmer Natalya Simonova to uncover who controls the weapon and to stop the criminal syndicate known as Janus from turning it against the world.
