English Summary:

Casino Royale is a 2006 spy film, the twenty-first in the Eon Productions James Bond series, and the third screen adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel of the same name. Directed by Martin Campbell and written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, and Paul Haggis, it is the first film to star Daniel Craig as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond, and was produced by Eon Productions for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Columbia Pictures, making it the first Eon-produced Bond film to be co-produced by the latter studio. Following Die Another Day, Eon Productions decided to reboot the series, allowing them to show a less experienced and more vulnerable Bond.

MI6 agent James Bond gains his status as a 00 agent by assassinating traitorous section chief Dryden and his contact, Fisher.

In Uganda, the mysterious Mr. White introduces Steven Obanno, a high-ranking member of the Lord's Resistance Army, to Le Chiffre, a private banker to terrorists. Obanno entrusts Le Chiffre with a large sum of money to invest; Le Chiffre subsequently buys put options on aerospace manufacturer Skyfleet, betting on the company's failure given his insider knowledge of a terrorist attack.

In Madagascar, Bond pursues bomb-maker Mollaka to an embassy, killing him and blowing up the building. In London, MI6 chief M admonishes Bond for causing an international incident and ignoring her orders to capture Mollaka alive. Clues point to corrupt Greek official Alex Dimitrios, whom Bond finds in the Bahamas. After winning his 1964 Aston Martin DB5 in a poker game and seducing his wife Solange, Bond pursues Dimitrios to Miami, where he kills him. Following his henchman Carlos to the airport, Bond thwarts the destruction of Skyfleet's airliner and Le Chiffre loses Obanno's money.

Hungarian Summary:

Bond első 007-es küldetése Madagaszkár szigetén zajlik, ahol egy Mollaka nevű terrorista után kell kémkednie. Nem minden halad az előzetes tervek szerint, ezért Bond magánnyomozásba kezd a brit titkosszolgálattól függetlenül és a terrorszervezet nyomába iramodik. A nyomok a Bahamákra vezetnek, ahol Dimitrosszal és asszonyával, Solange-zsal találja magát szembe. Tudomására jut, hogy Dimitrios Le Chiffre-fel áll kapcsolatban, aki a világ különféle terrorista szervezeteit támogató befolyásos bankár. A titkosszolgálat információi szerint Le Chiffre egy nagypályás pókerjátszmával kíván pénz gyűjteni a montenegrói Le Casino Royale-ban. Az MI6 a 007-es ügynököt jelöli ki, hogy játsszon Le Chiffre ellen, aki ha veszít, felépített szervezete is darabokra hullik. A küldetés idejére M a csábos Vesper Lynd óvó szárnyai alá helyezi Bond ügynököt. Bond érdeklődése a lány iránt folyamatosan alakul ki a történet során, ahogy különféle veszélyekkel találják szembe magukat, sőt Le Chiffre még meg is kínozza őket. Montenegróban Bond Mathisszal, az MI6 helyi ügynökével valamint Felix Leiterrel, a CIA emberével szövetkezik. A maratoni játszma csúnya trükkökkel és erőszakkal folytatódik, a tétek emelkednek, a pénzekhez vér tapad.
