Overview

Part of the 

strand.

Screening as part of Sacred Bonds. Join us every morning of the Festival as we celebrate the remarkable original six James Bond films starring Sean Connery in his most famous role as the suave secret agent. Featuring daring stunts, elaborate set pieces and iconic theme songs, these quintessential Bond films are presented in new restorations and introduced by members of the Connery family and special guests.

Featuring astonishing underwater fight sequences, breathless chases and Bond’s incredible utilisation of a nifty jetpack, Sean Connery’s fourth outing as the super spy is a rolicking action adventure in which the formula and scale for the films that followed is arguably first fully expressed.

– Paul Ridd

Thunderball will begin with an introduction from Jason Connery and Simon Firth.
