DVD - Casino Royale (Collector's Edition, 2 discs) [Blu-ray]

Casino Royale introduces James Bond (Craig) in “00” status.  “M” (Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends Bond on his first mission as 007, leading him to Le Chiffre (Mikkelsen), banker to the world’s terrorists.  In order to bring down the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale. 

 

Bond teams with a beautiful treasury official, Vesper Lynd (Green), as he risks millions of Her Majesty’s money, all too aware that should he lose, the funds will strengthen and embolden the very terrorists they hope to stop. 

 

As Bond and Vesper survive a series of nearly lethal attacks by Le Chiffre and his henchmen, a mutual affection develops, leading Bond to a terrifying confrontation with his own mortality. As Bond becomes closer to Vesper, he questions his desire to remain a secret agent, leading to a heart-stopping conclusion unlike any Bond film before.
