To stop Le Chiffre, Bond must beat him in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale in Montenegro. Bond is aided by Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), a British Treasury official, who provides the money he needs to enter the game. As the game unfolds, Bond faces not only the threat of losing the money but also the dangerous world of international espionage.

The relationship between Bond and Vesper Lynd adds depth to the story, leading to a tragic and impactful conclusion. The film was highly praised for its action sequences, including a thrilling parkour chase early in the movie, as well as its more mature and complex take on the Bond character. Casino Royale successfully revitalized the Bond franchise, setting the stage for a new era of 007 films with Daniel Craig.
