Description of this Licence to Kill Poster
“Licence to Kill” is a 1989 action-thriller film, the sixteenth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. It is the second and final film starring Timothy Dalton as MI6 agent James Bond. The story sees him resigning from MI6 to pursue drug lord Franz Sanchez, who ordered an attack on Bond’s CIA friend Felix Leiter and the murder of Felix’s wife after their marriage.
“Licence to Kill” was the fifth and final Bond film directed by John Glen, the last to feature Robert Brown as M and Caroline Bliss as Miss Moneypenny. It was also the last to feature the work of screenwriter Richard Maibaum, title designer Maurice Binder, and producer Albert R. Broccoli, all of whom died in the following years.
“License to Kill” was the first Bond film not to use the title of an Ian Fleming story. Originally titled “License Revoked,” the name was changed during post-production due to the American public’s association of the term with a driver’s license. Although its plot is largely original, the film contains elements of Fleming’s novel “Live and Let Die” and the short story “The Hildebrand Rarity,” woven with a sabotage premise influenced by Akira Kurosawa’s film, “Yojimbo.”
For budgetary reasons, “License to Kill” became the first Bond film to be shot entirely outside the UK: principal photography took place in Mexico and the United States, while interiors were filmed at Estudios Churubusco instead of Pinewood Studios. The film grossed over $156 million worldwide and received generally positive reviews, praising the stunts but criticizing its darker tone, which was reflected in Dalton’s portrayal of Bond.
DEA agents pick up MI6 agent James Bond and his friend, CIA agent Felix Leiter, en route to Leiter’s wedding in Key West to help them capture drug lord Franz Sanchez. Bond and Leiter capture Sanchez by attaching a hook and cable to Sanchez’s plane, pulling it out of the air with a Coast Guard helicopter. Afterward, Bond and Leiter parachute to the church in time for the ceremony.
Sanchez bribes DEA agent Ed Killifer and escapes. Meanwhile, Sanchez’s henchmen, Dario and his team, attack Leiter and his wife Della and take Leiter to an aquarium owned by one of Sanchez’s accomplices, Milton Krest. Sanchez lowers Leiter into a tank housing a great white shark. When Bond learns that Sanchez has escaped, he returns to Leiter’s house to discover that Leiter has been mutilated and Della murdered. Bond, along with Leiter’s friend Sharkey, begins his own investigation. They discover a marine research facility run by Krest, where Sanchez has hidden cocaine and a submarine for smuggling. After Bond kills Killifer using the same shark tank used for Leiter, M meets Bond at the Hemingway House in Key West and gives him an assignment in Istanbul, Turkey. Bond resigns after he refuses the assignment, but M instead suspends Bond and revokes his license to kill. Bond becomes a freelance agent, though he later receives unauthorized assistance from Q.
Bond boards Krest’s ship Wavekrest and thwarts Sanchez’s latest drug shipment, stealing $5 million in the process. He discovers that Sharkey has been killed by Sanchez’s henchmen. Bond meets and partners with Pam Bouvier, a pilot and DEA informant, at a bar in Bimini, and travels with her to the Isthmus Republic. He seeks employment with Sanchez by posing as a hitman. Two agents from the Hong Kong Narcotics Bureau thwart Bond’s attempt on Sanchez’s life and take him to an abandoned warehouse. They are joined by Fallon, an MI6 agent sent by M to apprehend Bond. Sanchez’s men rescue him and kill the agents, mistaking them for the assassins. Later, with the help of Bouvier, Q, and Sanchez’s girlfriend, Lupe Lamora, Bond frames Krest by planting the $5 million on the Wavekrest. Sanchez locks Krest in a decompression chamber and cuts the oxygen cord, causing an explosive decompression that results in Krest’s death. Bond is then admitted to the Inner Circle. Sanchez takes Bond to his base, disguised as the headquarters of a religious cult. Bond discovers that Sanchez’s scientists can dissolve cocaine in gasoline and sell it disguised as fuel to Asian drug dealers. Televangelist Joe Butcher serves as an intermediary, working under Sanchez’s business manager, Truman-Lodge, who uses Butcher’s television broadcasts to communicate with Sanchez’s clients in the United States. During Sanchez’s presentation to the potential Asian clients, Dario enters the room and recognizes Bond. Bond causes a fire in the laboratory, but is recaptured and placed on the conveyor belt that drops the brick of cocaine into a large processing machine. Bouvier arrives and shoots Dario, allowing Bond to pull Dario into the processing machine, killing him. Sanchez and most of the others flee as the fire consumes his base, taking with it four tankers filled with the cocaine and gasoline mixture. Bond pursues them by plane, with Bouvier at the controls. During a stunt-filled chase across the desert, Bond destroys three of the tankers and kills several of Sanchez’s men. Sanchez attacks Bond with a machete from the last remaining tanker, which crashes down a hill. A gasoline-soaked Sanchez attempts to kill Bond with his machete. Bond then reveals his lighter—the Leiters’ gift for being the chief witness at their wedding—and sets Sanchez on fire. Sanchez staggers into the destroyed tanker, causing a large explosion and killing himself. Bouvier arrives shortly after and picks Bond up.
Later, a party is held at Sanchez’s old residence. Bond receives a call from Leiter telling him that M has congratulated him on his work and is offering him the job. He then rejects Lupe’s advances and seduces Bouvier instead.
