When a powerful satellite system falls into the hands of Alec Trevelyan, AKA Agent 006 (Sean Bean), a former ally-turned-enemy, only James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) can save the world from an awesome space weapon that -- in one short pulse -- could destroy the earth! As Bond squares off against his former compatriot, he also battles Trevelyan's stunning ally, Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), an assassin who uses pleasure as her ultimate weapon.

Critics Consensus

The first and best Pierce Brosnan Bond film, GoldenEye brings the series into a more modern context, and the result is a 007 entry that's high-tech, action-packed, and urbane.

The difficult for Brosnan and director Martin Campbell is that we are looking for more from the thrills and spills genre now than when Dr No could survive on a smile and a nod.

There’s a fair bit to enjoy here, although perhaps it’s best experienced on TV over Christmas in a Quality Street stupor.

With a dynamite opening reel that showcases the series renewed vigor, GoldenEye is two hours of well-executed thrills, high-tech mayhem and one-of-a-kind comedy.

This new era of Brosnan films became a little campy as time went on, but Goldeneye stands out among the rest.

a pleasant blast from the past with outstanding picture and sound 4k bluray upgrade quality making it feel like it was filmed this year. Finally getting to experience in the theatre first time ever having not been able to in my early childhood. Great way to celebrate the 30th anniversary on JB 007 day!

The pacing dips in places, and some of the humour feels dated, but the supporting cast keeps things lively. Brosnan makes a confident Bond, balancing charm with enough edge to sell the action.

It is one of the best 007 films and a blast from my childhood. It's always a fun film to go back and watch anytime.
