As they leave the base, a henchman on a motorcycle featuring a rocket sidecar, Jaws in a car, and Naomi, an assistant/pilot of Stromberg in an attack helicopter, chase them, but Bond and Amasova escape underwater when his car – a Lotus Esprit from Q Branch – converts into a submarine. Posing as a marine biologist and his wife, they visit Stromberg's base and discover that he had launched a mysterious new supertanker, the Liparus, nine months previously.
While travelling by train to Stromberg's base in Sardinia, Bond saves Amasova from Jaws, and their cooling rivalry turns to affection. They uncover evidence linking the plans to shipping tycoon and scientist Karl Stromberg. Bond and Amasova reluctantly join forces after a truce is agreed by their respective British and Soviet superiors. They travel across Egypt together, encountering Jaws – a tall assassin with razor-sharp steel teeth – along the way. There, Bond encounters Major Anya Amasova – KGB agent Triple X – as a rival for the microfilm plans. The plans for a highly advanced submarine tracking system are being offered in Egypt.
On the way to his briefing, Bond escapes an ambush by a squad of Soviet agents in Austria, killing one during a downhill ski chase and evading the others. James Bond – MI6 agent 007 – is summoned to investigate.
The film was nominated for three Academy Awards amid many other nominations and novelised in 1977 by Christopher Wood as James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me.Ī British and a Soviet ballistic-missile submarine suddenly disappear. The soundtrack composed by Marvin Hamlisch also met with success. Moore himself called the film his personal favourite of his tenure as Bond. The Spy Who Loved Me was well received by critics, who saw the film as a return to form for the franchise and praised Moore's performance. It was shot on location in Egypt ( Cairo and Luxor) and Italy ( Costa Smeralda, Sardinia), with underwater scenes filmed at the Bahamas ( Nassau), and a new soundstage built at Pinewood Studios for a massive set which depicted the interior of a supertanker. Bond teams up with a Soviet agent, Anya Amasova, to stop the plans, all while being hunted by Stromberg’s powerful henchman, Jaws. The storyline involves a reclusive megalomaniac named Karl Stromberg, who plans to destroy the world and create a new civilisation under the sea. The film takes its title from Ian Fleming's 1962 novel The Spy Who Loved Me, the tenth book in the James Bond series, though it does not contain any elements of the novel's plot. The screenplay was by Christopher Wood and Richard Maibaum, with an uncredited rewrite by Tom Mankiewicz. The film co-stars Barbara Bach and Curt Jürgens and was directed by Lewis Gilbert. It is the third to star Roger Moore as the fictional secret agent James Bond. The Spy Who Loved Me is a 1977 spy film, the tenth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions.
