This most recent James Bond installment is based on the age-old myth of the phoenix as Bond (Daniel Craig) makes a comeback from death, first literally then metaphorically. The spy who never dies and British Spymaster (Judi Dench), who's past comes back to haunt her, are locked in battle with Silva (Javier Bardem) who is bent on revenge.
