Directed by Sam Mendes from a script by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade (Casino Royale) and John Logan (Hugo), Skyfall promises to delve into the background of a heretofore largely unexplored character, Bond’s commanding officer M (played by Judy Dench). Check out the synopsis below:
Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
While the last two Bond films were parts of a connected story, both Mendes and Logan have indicated that Skyfall is a standalone adventure that will not tie into the reboot story started in Casino Royale and wrapped up in A Quantum of Solace.
