Created by author Ian Fleming, Bond is the central character in a series of hit spy novels written throughout the 50s and 60s. The MI6 agent became a cultural phenomenon in 1962 after producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman purchased the rights to the novels and released an adaptation of Dr. No, the first book in the series.

Since then there have been 25 Bond films with six different actors playing secret agent 007: Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. The blockbuster movies are known for their crazy gadgets, sultry female co-stars, and over-the-top action scenes.
