In 'Dr. No' (1962) Bond is sent to investigate when the Station Chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service in Jamaica is murdered. He soon finds himself pursued by assassins and must face Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman), a reclusive genius and member of SPECTRE who is determined to put an end to the US space program by disrupting launches from Cape Canaveral. Together with shell diver Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress), can Bond infiltrate Dr. No's base of operations and thwart his plans? In 'From Russia With Love' (1963) SPECTRE's leaders want revenge against Bond and make plans to lure him into a fatal trap. High-ranking SPECTRE operative Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) is overseeing the mission and she recruits Donald Grant (Robert Shaw) to assassinate Bond. Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) is an unwitting pawn in the plan and she promises to help Bond steal a Russian cryptography device in exchange for his help in defecting to the West. Bond travels to Istanbul to meet her but when he escapes SPECTRE's trap, Klebb is sent to finish the job herself... 'Goldfinger' (1964) finds Bond investigating Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe), a gold smuggler who has secured possession of much of the world's gold. He now plans to break into Fort Knox and contaminate the gold held there, with the goal of increasing his wealth exponentially.

In 'Thunderball' (1965), SPECTRE operative Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi) steals two atomic bombs and holds the world to ransom, threatening to destroy a major city if his demands are not met.

'You Only Live Twice' (1967) sees Bond sent to Japan when spacecraft belonging to the Soviets and the Americans mysteriously disappear. As he attempts to find the truth about who is responsible, he uncovers a plot to spark all-out war between the two powers, masterminded by the head of SPECTRE, Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasence).
