James Bond infiltrates a North Korean military base belonging to Colonel Tan-Sun Moon, and poses as an arms dealer trading African conflict diamonds for weaponry. Bond attempts to assassinate Moon, but has his true identity revealed by Zao, Moon’s assistant, during the transaction. A chase results in the disfiguring of Zao’s face and the apparent death of Colonel Moon after Bond runs him off a cliff. Bond is captured and imprisoned by the Colonel’s father, General Moon, and subsequently tortured.

After fourteen months of captivity, Bond is traded for Zao in a prisoner exchange. Bond is informed by M that his 00 status has been suspended. His freedom was a result of the Americans and M believing he was hemorrhaging sensitive information to North Korea during his torture and they wanted to get him back under their control before he was able let out any more information. He is arrested and is being transported to the Falkland Islands where he will be detained indefinitely until M is satisfied he is no longer a threat. Bond escapes his recovery room off the shore of Hong Kong and learns through a Chinese contact that Zao is in Havana, Cuba. While in Havana, Bond meets NSA agent Giacinta 'Jinx' Johnson.

Bond follows Zao and Jinx to a gene therapy clinic where patients can have their appearances altered. Jinx is posing as a client to find information on Zao, but Bond finds him first. Zao escapes Bond and Jinx, but leaves evidence of several conflict diamonds bearing the laser signature of British billionaire Gustav Graves. Bond later encounters Graves at a fencing club along with his assistant Miranda Frost, also an undercover MI6 agent. Bond is invited to Iceland for a scientific demonstration after showing Graves one of his diamonds.

At the demonstration in Iceland, Graves unveils a new orbital mirror satellite (dubbed “Icarus”) the ostensible purpose of which is to harness solar energy and focus it to areas of earth to provide day- and year-round sunshine for crop development. Jinx, who is at the ceremony posed as a journalist, infiltrates the command center of the Iceland mansion and locates Zao, who is using the same gene therapy equipment found in Cuba. Bond arrives and rescues Jinx after being captured by the henchman Mr. Kil. After seeing Zao, Bond realizes that Colonel Moon survived their original encounter and is using the technology to assume the identity and appearance of Gustav Graves.

Bond confronts Graves, but Frost arrives to reveal herself as a traitor and the one who exposed Bond in North Korea. Frost has also tampered with Bond’s gun when they slept together the night before. Bond escapes and is pursued by the solar beam of the Icarus satellite, controlled by Moon. Bond escapes and returns to the facility to rescue Jinx, where he is discovered and chased by Zao. Zao dies after Bond tricks him into crashing his car into a flooded portion of the facility and a chandelier subsequently collapses on him. Bond then rescues an unconscious Jinx from drowning when she was trapped in Frost's bedroom and revives her.

Bond and Jinx then pursue Grave and Frost to the Korean peninsula and end up stowing away on Graves' cargo plane. Graves reveals his true identity to his father, General Moon, and the purpose of the Icarus satellite. He plans to cut a path through the Korean Demilitarized Zone allowing North Korean troops to invade South Korea and reunite the countries through force. General Moon draws a gun to maintain peace, but is then murdered by his son. Bond advances on Graves to stop the attack while Jinx attempts to regain control of the plane. Frost finds and attacks Jinx, but is killed in the fight after being stabbed in the chest. Meanwhile, Bond is able to pull a ripcord from Graves' attached parachute (which draws him closer to the door) and then electrocute him, which sends him flying out the plane, only to be ingested by the engine. Bond and Jinx escape the crashing plane via a helicopter in the cargo hold along with the entire stash of Graves’ diamonds.
