You Only Live Twice

You Only Live Twice (1967) is the spy adventure starring Sean Connery that you can watch online on iFILM. The fifth James Bond film sends 007 to Japan, where the space race between two superpowers is about to turn into open war.

A rogue craft is swallowing American and Soviet capsules in orbit, and each side blames the other. Bond fakes his own death to move unseen, then traces the plot to a hollowed-out volcano hiding a rocket base. Waiting for him is Ernst Stavro Blofeld, finally shown on screen: Donald Pleasence plays him bald and scarred, stroking a white cat. Bond gets help from Tiger Tanaka's Japanese intelligence and agents Aki and Kissy Suzuki.

Lewis Gilbert directed, and children's author Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay, loosely adapting Ian Fleming's novel. This version of Blofeld became the blueprint every later parody, Dr. Evil included, would borrow from. Stream You Only Live Twice (1967) online on iFILM.
