Live and Let Die (1973) is the eighth James Bond film in the series, and the first to feature Roger Moore as the iconic British secret agent. Bond is assigned to investigate the mysterious deaths of British agents linked to the infamous Harlem drug lord, Dr. Kananga (Yaphet Kotto). As Bond delves deeper into Kananga’s empire, he uncovers a plot to distribute heroin in the United States through a network of front organizations, including a lucrative casino and a voodoo cult. With the help of CIA agent Felix Leiter (Norman Burton) and the stunning Solitaire (Jane Seymour), Bond faces off against Kananga’s diabolical plans.

The film is filled with exotic locations, action-packed sequences, and thrilling stunts, including an iconic boat chase in the Louisiana bayou. Live and Let Die also marks the introduction of the title song, performed by Paul McCartney and Wings, which became one of the most memorable themes in the franchise. The movie brings a fresh, slightly campier tone to the Bond series, as Moore’s charismatic portrayal of the agent blends humor, sophistication, and adventure in equal measure.
