Casino Royale (2006)

Casino Royale (2006) isn’t just another James Bond movie—it’s a reimagining of the iconic 007 character, bringing fresh energy to the franchise. Directed by Martin Campbell and starring Daniel Craig in his debut as a British spy, the film is based on the first novel in Ian Fleming’s Bond series, published in 1953.
In Casino Royale, we are taken back to the early days of Bond’s career as a 00 agent, focusing on his first mission after receiving his license to kill. The story follows Bond as he is sent to Montenegro to bankrupt a terrorist financier, Le Chiffre (played by Mads Mikkelsen), in a high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale. What begins as a strategic mission quickly turns into a deadly game of deception and betrayal. Along the way, Bond meets Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), a British Treasury agent who plays an important role in the story and challenges Bond emotionally.
