Casino Royale (2006) is the 21st film in the James Bond franchise and serves as a gritty, emotionally charged reboot of the series, introducing Daniel Craig as the new 007. Directed by Martin Campbell, the film re-establishes Bond’s origin story and strips the character down to his brutal, cold-blooded beginnings—before the gadgets and quips. 007 earns his license to kill and faces off against a ruthless financier of terrorists in Daniel Craig's debut as James Bond. Le Chiffre, a banker to the world's terrorists, is scheduled to participate in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro, where he intends to use his winnings to establish his financial grip on the terrorist market. M sends Bond—on his maiden mission as a 00 Agent—to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning. With the help of Vesper Lynd and Felix Leiter, Bond enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career. Discover reviews, ratings, and trailers for Casino Royale on Rotten Tomatoes.
