Film biography

After renowned seismologist Dr. Callie Reeves of the Geo Thermal Institute (GTI) develops revolutionary new technology designed to release tectonic plate pressure, controlling future earthquakes, she is kidnapped by international "techno-terrorist" Gunther Thorne. In a bid for world domination, Thorne has other plans for her research - intending to harness it to trigger earthquakes, rather than avoid them. He is interrupted in his plans by British agent James Bond, who engages in a motorcycle chase, leaping onto the trailing ladder of a helicopter from a moving train, and finally landing on a jet ski in pursuit of Thorne. The terrorist is eventually killed by a guided missile.
