The title The World Is Not Enough traces its origins to the English translation of the Latin sentence Orbis non sufficit, which was said by Bond in the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service and in its film adaptation was revealed to be the Bond family motto on the family crest.

Plot

Sir Robert King, a British oil tycoon and close friend of M, is killed by a bomb attack inside MI6 Headquarters. The assassins were working under orders from Renard, an international terrorist. M assigns James Bond to protect King's daughter, Elektra; Renard previously kidnapped and held Elektra for ransom, and it is believed that has once again targeted her. She assumes control of her father's oil business at a pivotal time, overseeing an incomplete oil pipeline that will travel through the Caucasus, from the Caspian Sea to Turkey. M is a fictional character in Ian Flemings James Bond series, as well as the films in the Bond franchise. ...

Prior to the events in the film, M sent 009 to assassinate Renard. 009 failed, only wounding Renard by leaving a bullet lodged in Renard's brain. The bullet is slowly working its way towards the cerebral cortex. As it moves, it eliminates his senses of pain and touch, enabling him to physically drive himself beyond normal human limits. This will in turn allow him to continually gain strength until the bullet inevitably kills him. For other uses, see Cortex. ...

Renard steals a quantity of weapons-grade plutonium from a former Russian ICBM base in Kazakhstan, where he encounters Bond. Bond escapes from the booby-trapped missile silo with American nuclear physicist Christmas Jones in tow. Both return to the King pipeline, where they discover that Renard has planted a nuclear bomb in a section of the pipeline. The bomb is latched to a cleaning rig headed toward the pipeline's oil terminal. Bond and Jones enter the pipeline using a spare rig, where they catch up with the bomb. Just as Jones attempts to defuse it, Bond realizes that Renard only used half of the plutonium. He tells Jones to allow the bomb to explode. The duo leap off of the rig inside the pipeline seconds before the explosion. Bond quickly surmises that Elektra has been working with Renard all along. Since the bomb successfully went off, Elektra will assume that they both died in the explosion. The sabatoge of the pipeline was crafted to make Elektra look innocent. When Bond radios in, he learns that M has been kidnapped. This article is about the radioactive element. ... A Minuteman III missile soars after a test launch. ...

James Bond with Elektra King

All Elektra is really interested in is the other half of the plutonium; Renard has hijacked a Russian Victor III class nuclear submarine. Elektra and Renard's plan is to introduce the remaining plutonium to the submarine's nuclear reactor, overloading it and causing a meltdown in the Bosporus at Istanbul, killing at least eight million people and contaminating the Bosporus for decades. The result would prevent shipment of Caspian Sea petroleum through any existing route for tankers through the Bosporus. The only viable alternative would be the King pipeline.

Bond teams up with Valentin Zukovsky to track Renard and Elektra. One of Zukovsky's trusted henchmen, Bull, plants a bomb in his boss' operations room; Bond, Zukovsky and Dr. Jones manage to escape severe injury but are captured by Elektra. Bond is taken to King's hideout and tortured for King's pleasure. Jones is given to Renard as a parting gift, and taken aboard the submarine. Zukovsky arrives at Elektra's hideout, kills the traitor Bull, and demands to know where the hijacked submarine is, since his nephew is the Captain. Seeing the Captain's naval hat on a nearby table, he realizes that his nephew is dead. Elektra shoots Valentin and continues to torture Bond. Before he dies, Zukovsky shoots one of the bands holding Bond to the torture device. Bond escapes and chases Elektra through her headquarters, pausing momentarily to free M. He catches up with Elektra, and kills her after she refuses to call Renard off. The following is a list of allies found throughout the James Bond film and novel series. ...

Renard struggles with Bond.

Bond boards the submarine and, after a brief battle with Renard's men, sabotages the controls and scuttles it on the bottom of the channel. He and Renard briefly fight. Bond delivers a few blows to various parts of Renard's body. Renard, who didn't feel the hits, gains the upper hand. But Bond manages to overpower Renard, impaling the villain with the same plutonium rod he planned to use to cause the meltdown, but is too late to stop a small explosion in the reactor room. Bond and Dr. Jones escape to the surface before the sub explodes. Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

In Llewelyn's final scene, his "Q" is lowered into the ground while quipping: "Always have an escape plan".

Production

During filming of the opening boat chase, web cams were set up overlooking the River Thames and Internet users could watch the filming from around the world.^{[citation needed]} The pre-title sequence lasts for about 14 minutes, the longest pre-title sequence in the Bond series to date. In addition, director Michael Apted says in the making of documentaries on the Ultimate Edition DVD release that this scene was originally much longer than that. Originally, the British government objected to filming the actual MI6 Headquarters at Vauxhall Cross, citing a security risk. However, then Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Robin Cook said, "After all Bond has done for Britain, it was the least we could do for Bond."^[1] A Creative webcam A web camera (or webcam) is a real-time camera (usually, though not always, a video camera) whose images can be accessed using the World Wide Web, instant messaging, or a PC video calling application. ...

Music

Main article: The World Is Not Enough (soundtrack)

The World Is Not Enough is the second James Bond soundtrack composed by David Arnold, released in 1999. Arnold broke tradition by not ending the film with a reprise of the opening theme or, as with the previous three films, a new song. Originally, Arnold was going to use the melancholy song Only Myself to Blame at the end of the film, however, it was replaced by a techno remix of The James Bond Theme. Only Myself to Blame, sung by Scott Walker and written by David Arnold & Don Black, does appear on the soundtrack album, and its melody appears throughout the film as the pathos-laden theme for the character of Elektra King; it is most prominently heard in Casino, Elektra's Theme and I Never Miss. Arnold's score was widely criticised for its regular use of electronic elements and a perceived over-usage of the Bond theme, but he was immediately engaged to score the next Bond film, and indeed the most recent. Arnold added two new themes to his Bond repertoire with this score, both of which are reused in the subsequent Die Another Day.

The Music used in the trademark credit sequence is The World Is Not Enough, written with and performed by the band Garbage. On the film's 'Ultimate edition' DVD release, they state: "When we first got together, we all said that we wanted to make a James Bond Theme, because that's how we come up with our songs." The band also contributed to the music heard during the chase sequence – Ice Bandits – which was released as the B-side to their single release of the theme song.
