Die Another Day

James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is assigned to a rendezvous with a North Korean Army officer, Colonel Moon (Will Yun Lee), in his investigation of a North Korean terrorist, Zao (Rick Yune), but the mission is betrayed and despite a spectacular escape attempt, Bond is captured and subjected to vicious North Korean torture, before being released in an exchange of prisoners. MI6 works him back to health, but James is relieved of all duties because he is blamed for leaking information leading to several Agents' deaths while in custody. Determined to clear his name and avenge himself on Zao, James escapes and extracts information from a known Chinese intelligence officer on Zao, leading to Cuba and a meeting with a mysterious diver known only as Jinx Johnson (Halle Berry), and eventually to a meeting with mysterious British billionaire Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens), who has perfected a spaceborne mirror designed to beam solar light and heat anywhere in the world for peaceful purposes. But James uncovers mysterious genetic conversion equipment and also finds the solar mirror is in reality a laser cannon that can destroy almost anything in its path on Earth. James now must rescue Jinx (who is conducting her own, identical, investigation of Graves) and learn the truth about Graves' laser cannon, leading to a violent showdown as the weapon is fired onto Earth and begins slicing open a gigantic line of destruction.
