For Your Eyes Only (1981) is the twelfth James Bond film in the official Eon Productions series, and it stars Roger Moore in his fifth outing as the iconic British secret agent. Directed by John Glen, the movie marks a return to a more grounded, realistic tone, following the more outlandish adventures of its predecessor, Moonraker (1979). It is notable for being much less sci-fi and more focused on espionage and action, which brought it back to the essence of the earlier Bond films.

In this installment, Bond is tasked with retrieving a stolen device, the “ATAC” (Automatic Targeting Attack Communicator), which is capable of controlling the British nuclear submarine fleet. Bond must race against time to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, leading him on a series of high-stakes adventures across Europe, including Greece, where he faces off against a mysterious criminal organization.

James Bond (Roger Moore) returns in For Your Eyes Only, a more grounded and action-packed adventure that takes him on a mission to recover a stolen British encryption device, the ATAC system, before it falls into enemy hands. When a British spy ship sinks off the coast of Albania, MI6 sends Bond to retrieve the device, which could give the Soviet Union control over the British naval fleet. Along the way, he crosses paths with Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet), a woman seeking revenge for her parents’ assassination, leading them both into a web of espionage, deception, and thrilling action.

The film features strong action sequences, including a thrilling ski chase and underwater battle. The Bond girl in this film is Melina Havelock, portrayed by Carole Bouquet, whose parents were killed by a drug lord, setting her on a path for vengeance.

One of the most memorable scenes is the opening sequence, where Bond survives an assassination attempt and subsequently delivers a memorable, action-packed pre-title sequence.
