James Bond and his colleague and close friend Alec Trevelyan (Agent 006) are assigned to destroy a Soviet nerve gas factory during the Cold War. The mission goes awry and Trevelyan is executed by Soviet General Ourumov.
Nine years later, M informs Bond
that a secret Russian weapons system called GoldenEye has been stolen, so
may be in criminal hands and could cause massive destruction. Bond discovers
the weapon may be in the possession of Janus, a mysterious, unseen organized-crime
chief operating in the new Russia. Bond is shocked to learn that Janus is
actually Trevelyan, who is plotting with Ourmurov to financially cripple London
electronically then cover up the crime by firing the GoldenEye over the city.
Bond - with the help of former Russian 
computer
programmer Natalya Simonova - penetrates Trevelyan's secret lair in Cuba and,
in a fierce battle to the death, destroys his former colleague and thwarts
his plan to use the GoldenEye for purposes of mass destruction.
Review
A welcome return for Bond after 6 years in the wilderness. However, Brosnan's
Bond relies even more heavily on the use of Q's gadgets. The plot is a good,
if not inspired, one, and all of Bond's allies at MI6 have changed, signaling
this the start of a new Bond era.

Trevelyan,
a.k.a. Agent 006 (Sean Bean), a mastermind motivated by years of simmering
hatred. As Bond squares off against his former compatriot, he also battles
Trevelyan's stunning ally, Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), an assassin who
uses pleasure as her ultimate weapon. When the horrifying extent of Trevelyan's
plans is revealed, Bond must call upon his sharp wits and killer instincts
in an edge-of-your-seat confrontation to the finish.
