From Russia with Love was the second film in the James Bond series, with Sean Connery reprising his role as the MI6 agent following 1962’s Dr No. Based on Ian Fleming’s 1957 novel, From Russia with Love follows Bond as he is sent to Russia to assist in the defection of a Soviet consulate clerk, which is in fact a trap devised to assassinate Bond as revenge for the death of Dr No.
