Tmothy Dalton gave one of my favorite portrayals of James Bond in his two films. For years, I'd heard that the decision was made to replace him because of the disappointing earnings from "License To Kill." That wasn't the case at all. It was entirely Dalton's decision, and his reasoning was sound. Bond investigates millionaire industrialist Max Zorin, who is trying to corner the world market in microchips. He establishes that Zorin was previously trained and financed by the KGB, but has now gone rogue. Zorin unveils to a group of investors his plan to destroy Silicon Valley, which will give him a monopoly in the manufacturing of microchips.
