James Bond learns that SPECTRE has purposefully planted a deadly nuclear warhead that has the capability to blow anything up within a 1,000 mile radius. This warhead is said to be planted in the middle of the Bahamas possibly endangering several countries such as the United States, Mexico, Canada, and most of Europe to becoming radiated wastelands according to intel 007 received from MI6. Emilio Largo, one of SPECTRE's highly respected officials, is in charge of the project, sending the warhead straight for Britain then demolishing the rest of Europe and the United States, crippling them into a state of anarchy where SPECTRE could thrive and spark their rise to global domination. He must make sure the project succeeds or he may be in trouble with his superior, Blofeld. 007 is then sent to the Bahamas to foil Largo’s project so the world could be more secure, avoiding nuclear catastrophe. He must be swift in his act to save the world once more as the detonation timer is set for 72 hours.
