Casino Royale features veteran actor, Mads Mikkelsen
Casino Royale traces the early career of James Bond (Craig) as he is elevated to “00” status. “M” (Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends Bond on his first “007” mission leading him to Le Chiffre (Mikkelsen), banker to the world’s terrorists. In order to stop him and bring down the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale.
Bond is initially annoyed when a beautiful treasury official, Vesper Lynd (Green), is assigned to deliver his stakes for the game and watch over the government’s money. But as Bond and Vesper survive a series of nearly lethal attacks by Le Chiffre and his henchmen, a mutual affection develops, leading Bond to learn his most important lesson: trust no one.
