Octopussy



Octopussy.....

The film's title is taken from a short story in Ian Fleming's 1966 short story collection, set largely in

Germany and India, this adventure puts James Bond on the trail of a priceless Fabergé egg after British agent 009 is found dead at the British embassy in East Berlin, dressed as a circus clown and carrying a fake Fabergé egg. It leads him to Octopussy's traveling circus, which is being used as a cover for a plot to explode an atomic bomb at a U.S airforce base in West Germany, the first step for a Soviet invasion of Western Europe. Maud Adams, who portrays the seductive Octopussy, is the only actress to have starred in two Bond films. She previously played the ill-fated Andrea Anders in The Man With The Golden Gun  (1974 ). Only Agent 007 can stop the nightmarish scheme!
