Story Line.
Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology
Thoughts.
My husband really wanted to watch this. Now, I've been a fan of the James Bond movies from a young age. I got uninterested for a while when Pierce Bronson was Bond, just not great story lines or acting.
This one, was good. I very much liked it. It was pretty much go from start to beginning.
Madeline's story is the opening, we don't know it yet, but we are meeting Rami Malek's character for the first time. After the beginning credit's role, we get to Bond, James Bond and Madeleine in what appears to be Italy.
Literally it's go, go, go from here and the movie really keeps your attention which generally when they are this long your attention is lost during some parts, not with this one. This was good and the plot was pretty original. Rami Malek is such a great actor

Plot Summary.
A
young Madeleine Swann witnesses the murder of her mother by Lyutsifer
Safin in a failed attempt to murder her father Mr. White. Safin is
shot by Madeleine as he searches for her but survives. Madeleine
flees onto a nearby frozen lake and falls through the ice, but Safin
rescues her.
After the
capture of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Madeleine is in Matera with James
Bond. Specter assassins ambush Bond when he visits Vesper Lynd's
tomb. Though Bond and Madeleine overcome the assassins, Bond believes
that Madeleine has betrayed him despite her pleas and leaves
her.
Five years later, MI6 scientist Valdo Obruchev is
kidnapped from an MI6 laboratory. Approved by M, Obruchev has
developed "Project Heracles", a bioweapon containing
nanobots that infect like a virus upon touch and are coded to an
individual's specific DNA, rendering it lethal to the target but
harmless to others. Bond has retired to Jamaica, where he is
contacted by CIA agent Felix Leiter with his colleague Logan Ash.
Leiter asks for help in tracking down Obruchev but Bond declines. The
same evening, Bond encounters an MI6 agent named Nomi who has
succeeded him as the new 007. Being informed by Nomi about "Project
Heracles", Bond subsequently agrees to help Leiter.
Bond
goes to Cuba and meets a CIA agent named Paloma who is allied with
Leiter. Bond and Paloma infiltrate a Specter meeting for Blofeld's
birthday to retrieve Obruchev. Blofeld, who is using a disembodied
"bionic eye" to lead the meeting while still being
imprisoned in MI6, orders his members to kill Bond with the nanobots.
Instead, the nanobots kill all of the Specter members, as Obruchev
had reprogrammed them to do so on Safin's orders. Bond captures
Obruchev before meeting Leiter and Ash. However, Ash is revealed to be
a double agent working for Safin as he kills Leiter and escapes with
Obruchev.
Moneypenny and Q arrange a meeting between Bond and
Blofeld in prison to try to locate Obruchev. However, Safin visits and
coerces Madeleine to infect herself with nanobots to kill Blofeld, as
she has been in contact with him since his imprisonment. When Bond
encounters Madeleine at Blofeld's prison cell, he touches her and
unknowingly infects himself before she leaves. During the
interrogation, Blofeld confesses to Bond that he staged the ambush at
Vesper's tomb to appear as if Madeline had betrayed him. Bond reacts
by attacking Blofeld, unintentionally causing the nanobots to infect
and kill him.
Bond tracks Madeleine down to her childhood home
in Norway. There he learns that Madeleine has a five-year-old
daughter named Mathilde, whom she claims is not his. Madeleine
confesses to Bond that Safin's parents were murdered by Madeleine's
father on Blofeld's orders when Safin was a boy, prompting him to
seek revenge on Blofeld and Specter. Despite having succeeded in
killing Blofeld and destroying Specter, Safin continues his rampage
as he, Ash, and their men are on their way to capture Bond, Madeleine
and Mathilde. Though Bond manages to kill Ash and several of Safin's
men, Safin successfully captures Madeleine and Mathilde.
Q,
Bond, and Nomi locate Safin in a Second World War base on an island
between Japan and Russia. They infiltrate Safin's headquarters and
learn that Safin has converted the base into a nanobot factory, where
he has Obruchev create millions of nanobots so that he can unleash
them globally to kill millions of people and establish a new world
order for himself. Bond kills many of Safin's men while Nomi kills
Obruchev by pushing him into a vat of nanobots. After rescuing
Madeleine and Mathilde, Bond has them escape with Nomi from the
island while he stays behind to open the island's silo doors, which
would enable a missile strike from the HMS Dragon to destroy the
nanobots.
Bond kills Safin's remaining men before confronting
Safin himself; they fight and Safin shoots Bond before infecting him
with nanobots programmed to kill Madeleine and Mathilde. Despite his
injuries, Bond kills Safin and opens the silos. Speaking by radio
with Madeleine, Bond tells her he loves her and encourages her to
move on without him, and she confirms that Mathilde is his daughter
as Bond bids her farewell. Bond accepts his fate as the missiles hit
the island destroying the nanobot factory.
At MI6, M,
Moneypenny, Q, Tanner and Nomi drink in Bond's honor. The film ends
with Madeleine taking Mathilde to Matera as she starts telling her
about Bond
