No Time to Die (2021) Plot
A young Madeleine Swann witnesses the murder of her mother by Lyutsifer Safin, whose family was assassinated by Swann’s father Mr. White under orders from Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Swann shoots Safin, but he survives and rescues her when she falls through a frozen lake.
In the present, after Blofeld’s arrest,[a] Swann is in Matera with James Bond. She asks Bond to visit the grave of his ex-lover Vesper Lynd, where he narrowly survives an explosion orchestrated by Spectre operatives, led by Primo, a mercenary with a bionic eye. Bond evades further assassination attempts and escapes with Swann, but he believes that Swann betrayed him to Spectre, prompting him to end their relationship.
Five years later, Spectre agents kidnap MI6 scientist Valdo Obruchev and steal Project Heracles, a secret weapon developed under M’s oversight that consists of nanobots that spread through skin contact to execute targets based on DNA.
Bond, retired and living in Jamaica, is contacted by CIA ally Felix Leiter and State Department agent Logan Ash, who ask for Bond’s help extracting Obruchev from a Spectre party in Cuba. Bond initially declines, but later accepts after Nomi, his 007 successor, warns him not to interfere with her extraction of Obruchev and puts him in contact with M, who refuses to answer his questions about Heracles.
Bond infiltrates the Spectre party with Paloma, a Cuban agent assisting Leiter. Blofeld oversees the party from Belmarsh through Primo’s bionic eye. He disperses a nanobot mist to kill Bond, but Obruchev covertly reprogrammed the nanobots under Safin’s orders to kill the Spectre members instead.
After outmanoeuvring Nomi with Paloma’s help, Bond takes Obruchev to Ash and Leiter on a trawler for interrogation. Ash, secretly working for Safin, shoots Leiter, traps him and Bond below deck, and flees with Obruchev after triggering explosives to sink the ship. Leiter dies of his wounds, but Bond escapes.
Bond returns to London, reuniting with his former MI6 colleagues. He seeks to interrogate Blofeld for information about Obruchev’s new employer, but Blofeld reportedly only speaks to his psychiatrist, Swann. Safin secretly forces Swann to infect herself with a nanobot dose in order to assassinate Blofeld. Bond meets Swann in Belmarsh and unknowingly infects himself by touching her.
Swann leaves after becoming too distressed to confront Blofeld, who confesses to Bond that he planned the explosion at Vesper’s grave to make Bond believe that Madeleine betrayed him. Enraged, Bond briefly strangles Blofeld, unknowingly allowing the nanobots to kill him.
Bond tracks Swann to her childhood home in Norway, where the two reconcile. He meets Swann’s five-year-old daughter Mathilde, who Swann insists is not his child. Swann shares intelligence that her father gathered about Safin, including information about his island headquarters. The next morning, MI6 alert Bond that Ash is approaching his location. After a chase leads into a nearby forest, Safin abducts Swann and Mathilde while Bond defeats Safin’s thugs and avenges Leiter by killing Ash.
Q provides Bond and Nomi with a submersible glider to infiltrate Safin’s headquarters, a missile base in the Sea of Japan that has been converted into a nanobot factory for mass production. Nomi kills Obruchev by kicking him into a pool of nanobots. Bond confronts Safin, who flees with Mathilde but later releases her. Swann escapes from Primo and reunites with Bond and Mathilde.
Nomi escorts Swann and Mathilde off the island. Bond stays to open the silo doors so that missiles can penetrate and destroy the factory. He kills Safin’s remaining men, including Primo, and calls in a missile strike from HMS Dragon.
As Bond leaves the facility, he sees the silo doors closing and rushes back inside. Safin shoots Bond and infects him with a vial containing nanobots programmed to kill Swann and Mathilde. Bond shoots Safin dead, reopens the silo doors, and climbs to the roof of the facility. He contacts Swann by radio to say goodbye and express his love for her and Mathilde. Swann confirms that Mathilde is Bond’s daughter.
Bond watches as the missiles strike the island, destroying the factory and killing him. At MI6, M, Moneypenny, Nomi, Q, and Bill Tanner drink to Bond’s memory. As Swann drives Mathilde to Matera, she tells her a story about a man named James Bond.

No Time to Die earned an additional $6.9 million on Columbus Day, bringing its four-day total to over $60 million. Deadline Hollywood attributed the slight underperformance to the film’s 163-minute runtime limiting the number of showtimes.
TheWrap said that the opening was good news for cinemas, even if the studio did not break even during the film’s theatrical run, and that it was an encouraging sign for upcoming adult-oriented pictures. The film fell 56% in its second weekend to $24.3 million, finishing second behind newcomer Halloween Kills. No Time to Die was re-released in IMAX for the weekend ending on 23 January 2022 as part of the 60th anniversary of the Bond film series.

No Time to Die (2021) Critical reception
No Time to Die has an approval rating of 83% based on 417 reviews on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 7.30/10.
The critics consensus states: “It isn’t the sleekest or most daring 007 adventure, but No Time to Die concludes Daniel Craig’s franchise tenure in satisfying style.” Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 68 out of 100 based on 66 critics, indicating “generally favorable reviews”. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of “A–” on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an 83% positive score, with 63% saying they would definitely recommend it.
The film received praise from many film critics. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian called it “an epic barnstormer” delivered “with terrific panache” and with “pathos, action, drama, camp comedy, heartbreak, macabre horror, and outrageously silly old-fashioned action”.
Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph described it as “extravagantly satisfying”, “often very funny” with gadgets “both improbable and outrageous”, and that it has been filmed with “gorgeous” cinematography, starting with “a sensationally thrilling and sinister prologue” and ending with a “moving conclusion”. Kevin Maher of The Times wrote: “It’s better than good. It’s magnificent”; he later named the film one of the best films of 2021.
Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail wrote that the film “makes sure that my eyes are following each and every oh-whoa stunt. As well as guaranteeing that I actually care about whether (or, really, how) Bond gets out of this one.” Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that the film “takes its place among the best of the entire series”, and concluded “Craig leaves the series in a mammoth, 163-minute extravaganza that audiences will be enjoying for decades. It’s a lovely thing to see.
” K. Austin Collins of Rolling Stone described the film as being “just fine: sometimes intriguing, sometimes not, sometimes boring, sometimes not”, adding: “It’s a bit more successful if we think of it instead as a tribute to the Craig era, and to the star himself.” Michael O’Sullivan of The Washington Post gave the film 3/4 stars, writing that it was “a bit too long and a bit too complicated”, but added that it was “also a fittingly complicated and ultimately perversely satisfying send-off for the actor”.
Peter Rainer of The Christian Science Monitor gave the film 3/5 stars, writing: “It offers up the requisite thrills, stunts, and bad guys. Beautiful people abound, and 007 still knows how to fill out a tux.” However, he questioned “Has James Bond become irrelevant?”
Conversely, some critics found fault with the film. John Nugent of Empire criticised its length (2 hours and 43 minutes), asserting that the plotting and exposition in the middle third “doesn’t justify that heaving runtime”.
Nevertheless, he thought the film “a fitting end to the Craig era”. Kyle Smith of National Review also criticised the film’s length, and described it as “the least fun and most somber excursion in the entire Bond series”. Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent found it uneventful and disappointing: its core premise of a biological weapon of mass destruction was described as “generic spy nonsense”, while she felt that Rami Malek “gives almost nothing to the role beyond his accent and stereotyped disfigurement makeup”.
David Sexton of New Statesman wrote that the film “shows signs of emerging from an over-deliberated, market-sensitised production process”, adding: “It delivers the set-pieces without ever trying to connect them with any urgency, almost like an anthology or re-mix.”
Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com gave the film a score of 2/4 stars, writing: “For something that once felt like it so deftly balanced the old of a timeless character with a new, richer style, perhaps the biggest knock against [the film] is that there’s nothing here that hasn’t been done better in one of the other Craig movies.”
