Hello! Totally Awesome Films here!

Never Say Never Again (1983) is a James Bond spy film starring Sean Connery, reprising his role as 007 after a 12-year hiatus. The story follows Bond as he is called out of retirement to stop the villainous organization SPECTRE, which has stolen two nuclear warheads and is threatening global destruction. Bond must track down the warheads, confront his old nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and navigate a series of dangerous encounters, including with femme fatale Fatima Blush and love interest Domino. The film is a remake of the earlier Bond film Thunderball and was produced outside the official Eon Productions series.
