Released in 1963, From Russia with Love is the second film in the legendary James Bond series, once again starring Sean Connery as the suave British secret agent, 007. Directed by Terence Young, the film builds on the spy intrigue and exotic settings that defined early Bond adventures.
The story follows Bond as he becomes entangled in a deadly plot involving the criminal organization SPECTRE, a stolen decoding device, and the beautiful Soviet cipher clerk Tatiana Romanova (played by Daniela Bianchi). From the bustling streets of Istanbul to the thrilling train sequence aboard the Orient Express, the film combines Cold War tension with sleek espionage style.
