James Bond, designated Agent 007 (always articulated as
“double-oh-seven”) in the British Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, was the creation of British novelist Ian Fleming.
who introduced the character in his 1953 thriller Casino Royale. Bond was first conceived as a Cold War-era operative.
Trained in intelligence and special forces, the superspy always used the latest gadgets, thwarted Soviet agents, brought international gangsters to justice, and inevitably bedded a beautiful woman.
An enthusiastic gambler, he was nearly as loyal to his signature vodka martini as he was to the British crown and his Scottish roots. Although Bond radiated charisma and style, he was also intensely solitary and virtually friendless, despite his many trysts.
Fleming featured Bond in another 12 novels and additional short storycollections over the next 10 years. In 1963 the 007 novel Dr. No (1958) was adapted for film.
Produced by Albert (“Cubby”) Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, it initiated one of the most successful movie franchises in history. After Fleming’s death, other writers continued producing new novels and original film stories in the series.

For Hanks, who also wrote the film, all you need to know about Commander Ernest Krause is in what he did in service.
The freight train pulls out of a siding with no engineer on board and accelerates to 70 m.p.h., and you see how Tony Scott's "Unstoppable" gets its title. The movie is as relentless as the train, slowly gathering momentum before a relentless final hour of continuous suspense.
In terms of sheer craftsmanship, this is a superb film.The trouble begins when an engineer (Ethan Suplee) dismounts after thinking he had brought the train to a full stop. He hasn't.
When he sees the train slowly pulling away, the look on his face is adequate to fuel the next several minutes. At first, it's assumed that the train is a "coaster," but no luck. It's under full throttle.
