007, aided by field agents Paula (Martine Bestwick) and CIA agent Felix Leiter (Rik Van Nutter) soon begin a search for the bombs. Domino is unaware of the connection between Largo and her brother, but Bond is. Largo is (unbeknown to anyone except the audience), Number 2 in SPECTRE, the mastermind of the nuclear bomb heist.
Said pilot's sister, Domino (Claudine Auger), is the mistress of one Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi). Due to this, 007 is sent to Nassau to investigate the pilot's sister. He then sees this man, dead, but the face matches the pilot of the NATO plane flying the plane from which said bombs were stolen. While recovering at a spa from his previous assignment, he sees a mysterious patient all bandaged up, one Count Lippe. Bond, however, has what I can call 'inside information' about this plot. All the 00s are brief about the recovery operation, codenamed 'Thunderball'. This is such a vital mission that all 00s are brought in, including 007 James Bond (Sean Connery). With the time ticking, MI6 must track down and recover the weapons before the governments are forced to pay off SPECTRE. SPECTRE is back! The nefarious criminal organization is plotting its most daring plan: it will steal two nuclear bombs and blackmail the United Kingdom and United States. In other ways, Thunderball is less than the sum of its parts. In certain ways, Thunderball has some great moments of action, and is a return to form from other Bond films. Whether the maxim "bigger is better" was the inspiration or not, Thunderball was certainly more spectacular in terms of plot and action than its predecessors in the James Bond series.
