You Only Live Twice

Based On the book by Ian Fleming

You Only Live Twice is a 1967 spy film and the fifth film in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. The film's screenplay was written by Roald Dahl, and was loosely based on Ian Fleming's 1964 novel You Only Live Twice. It is the first of three Bond films to be directed by Lewis Gilbert, and is the first Bond film to discard most of Fleming's plot, using only a few characters and locations from the book as the background for an entirely new story. You Only Live Twice stars Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond, who is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet spacecraft vanish mysteriously, each nation blaming the other amidst the Cold War.
