Poster for Live and Let Die

Film Synopsis

Live and Let Die (1973) follows James Bond as he investigates the deaths of fellow agents linked to a Caribbean prime minister who secretly controls a vast heroin distribution network. As Bond tracks the operation through New York, New Orleans, and the fictional island of San Monique, he encounters voodoo ritual, political manipulation, and a psychic tarot reader whose powers depend on her innocence. This British spy adventure blends blaxploitation stylings and occult intrigue in a globe-spanning battle against narcotics tyranny.
