This is the teaser trailer for the 1989 spy feature "Licence to Kill", the sixteenth entry in the James Bond movie series.
This is also the second and final feature to star Timothy Dalton (who replaced Roger Moore in 1987's "The Living Daylights"), as James Bond.
Directed by John Glen (who helmed every Bond movie released in the Eighties), the movie was released through United Artists Pictures and Eon Productions on July 14, 1989.
DEA agents collect MI6 agent James Bond (Timothy Dalton) and his friend, CIA agent Felix Leiter (David Hedison), on their way to Leiter's wedding in Key West, to have them assist in capturing drug lord Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi). Bond and Leiter capture Sanchez by attaching a hook and cord to Sanchez's plane and pulling it out of the air with a Coast Guard helicopter. Afterwards, Bond and Leiter parachute down to the church in time for the ceremony.
Sanchez bribes DEA agent Ed Killifer (Everett McGill) and escapes. Meanwhile, Sanchez's henchman Dario and his crew ambush Leiter and his wife Della (Priscilla Barnes, "Three's Company"), murdering her in the process, while taking Leiter to an aquarium owned by one of Sanchez's accomplices, Milton Krest (Anthony Zerbe). Sanchez has Leiter lowered into a pond holding a Great White Shark. When Bond learns that Sanchez has escaped, he returns to Leiter's house to find that Leiter has been maimed and that Della has been murdered. Bond, with Leiter's friend Sharkey (Frank McRae), start their own investigation. They discover a marine research centre run by Krest, where Sanchez has hidden cocaine and a submarine for smuggling.
After Bond kills Killifer using the same shark pond used for Leiter, M (Robert Brown) meets Bond in Key West's Hemingway House and orders him to an assignment in Istanbul, Turkey. Bond resigns after turning down the assignment, but M suspends Bond instead and revokes his licence to kill. Bond becomes a rogue agent, although he later receives unauthorised assistance from Q (Desmond Llewelyn).
Bond boards Krest's ship Wavekrest and foils Sanchez's latest drug shipment, stealing five million dollars in the process. He discovers that Sharkey has been killed by Sanchez's henchmen. Bond meets and teams up with Pam Bouvier (Carey Lowell), a pilot and DEA informant, at a Bimini bar, and journeys with her to the Republic of Isthmus. He seeks Sanchez's employment by posing as an assassin for hire. Two Hong Kong Narcotics Bureau officers foil Bond's attempt to assassinate Sanchez and take him to an abandoned warehouse. They are joined by Fallon, an MI6 agent who was sent by M to apprehend Bond. Sanchez's men rescue him and kill the officers, believing them to be the assassins. Later, with the aid of Bouvier, Q, and Sanchez's girlfriend Lupe Lamora (Talisa Soto), Bond frames Krest by planting the $5 million in Wavekrest. Sanchez shuts Krest into a decompression chamber and cuts the oxygen cord, causing Krest to explosively decompress to his death. Bond is then admitted into the inner circle.
Sanchez takes Bond to his base, which is disguised as the headquarters of a religious cult. Bond learns that Sanchez's scientists can dissolve cocaine in petrol and then sell it disguised as fuel to Asian drug dealers. The televangelist Joe Butcher (Wayne Newton) serves as middleman, working under Sanchez's business manager Truman-Lodge (Anthony Starke), who uses Butcher's TV broadcasts to communicate with Sanchez's customers in the United States. During Sanchez's presentation to potential Asian customers, Dario (Benicio Del Toro in an early role) enters the room and recognises Bond. Bond starts a fire in the laboratory, but is captured again and placed on the conveyor belt that drops the brick-cocaine into a large processing machine. Bouvier arrives and shoots Dario, allowing Bond to pull Dario into the processing machine, killing him.
Sanchez and most of the others flee as fire consumes his base, taking with him four tankers full of the cocaine and petrol mixture. Bond pursues them by plane, with Bouvier at the controls. During the course of a stunt-filled chase through the desert, Bond destroys three of the tankers and kills several of Sanchez's men. Sanchez attacks Bond with a machete aboard the final remaining tanker, which crashes down a hillside. A petrol-soaked Sanchez attempts to kill Bond with his machete. Bond then reveals his cigarette lighter-the Leiters' gift for being the best man at their wedding-and sets Sanchez on fire. Sanchez stumbles into the wrecked tanker, causing a big explosion and killing himself. Bouvier arrives shortly afterward, and picks up Bond.
Later, a party is held at Sanchez's former residence. Bond receives a call from Leiter telling him that M has congratulated him for his work and offers him his job back. He then rejects Lupe's advances and romances Bouvier instead.
