A complete reboot of Ian Fleming's James Bond. The film explains how Bond earned his job as 007 at the MI6. When the Majesty's Secret Service is exploited for false claims, Alex Younger (the real Chief of the MI6) must provide immediate proof of a hacking. An unnamed NGO (Non-government organization) frames the MI6 by putting forth false claims that Alex Younger had ordered his Secret Intelligence Officers to kill the Queen. The Queen orders a complete shutdown of the MI6 and states that for this moment forward that all British Military and Secret Intelligence will be handled by Her Majesty's Government. Former Naval Intelligence Admiral, Miles Messervy, is appointed by the Queen as second in command of the Secret Service. Emilio Largo, a Roman drug dealer, is revealed to be the leader of the unnamed NGO group that framed the MI6. Alex Younger's home is broken into, he and his family are killed by the group. With truth now being told, the Queen orders the reopening of MI6 and appoints Miles Messervy as the new Chief. Miles promises the Queen that the new MI6 will be smaller and more discrete. A new ordering system is set-up by newly appointed secretary, Eve Moneypenny. This ordering system numbers eight total agents, so their names will be disclosed. 001 through 008 are appointed by the MI6. Miles orders Eve and the eight agents to only call him by the letter 'M'. A newly appointed Quartermaster is also hired by the Queen to arm the agents with Secret and High-tech intelligence weapons for their own safety. After days of exercise training, the team agrees that agent 007, James Bond, is the best they have. Bond is a former lower-ranked military sergeant from the Majesty's Army. 007 is sent on a mission to discover more about the unnamed NGO group and Emilio Largo.
