Description
From an impregnable fortress in India, Octopussy rules over a sprawling financial empire she controls through a legion of beautiful women skilled in deadly martial arts. James Bond must contend with her and Kamal Khan, a cunning master criminal, who lives in a mountaintop palace guarded by an army. His lethal right hand is Gobinda. Another problem is General Orlov, a Russian military genius bent on establishing Soviet world domination and killing Bond. Eluding Khan's killers, out-thinking Octopussy, giving the Soviets the slip, the last leg of Bond's perilous mission brings him to Octopussy's travelling circus.
