The British space shuttle Moonraker transported by the United States was hijacked on the way, and there was no trace of the wreckage of the spacecraft. The Boeing 747 transporting the space shuttle was also reduced to ashes. This immediately aroused the vigilance of the two governments, and the British suspected that an illegal organization had hijacked the spacecraft Lunar Explorer. Bond, as far away as South Africa, was recalled to investigate the matter. Unexpectedly, he was attacked on a plane and was pushed out of the cabin by Jaws. Fortunately, Bond stole the pilot's parachute in the air. After landing safely, he immediately rushed to MI6 in London. The headquarter of the department is aware of the hijacking situation. M, Q, and Bond all believe that the investigation should begin with Drax, which makes the space shuttle.
Hugo Drax, the owner of Drax Manufacturing Company, had a very cold talk with Bond. Bond later met the female astronaut Goodhead and entered the centrifuge cabin to experience the feeling of being overweight. Drax's men controlled the centrifuge, hoping to kill Bond, but unexpectedly Bond survived the double gravity limit. Bond captured the heart of Draxko’s personal pilot Colleen Dufour with her masculine color. With her help, Bond sneaked into Drax’s study and found a drawing of a glass bottle, which was partly about space. Ship information. Early the next morning, Colleen Duffer was murdered by Drax.
In the Glass Museum in Venice, Bond once again met Goodhead, and Drax's men began to hunt Bond on the canal. At the critical moment, Bond's Gondola turned into a hovercraft and was able to get out of it in a moment. That night, Bond returned to the glass factory and broke into the laboratory. He learned from the accidentally poisoned scientist that the glass bottle will contain a nerve gas that is fatal to humans.
Bond hopes to ascertain the identity of Goodhead. In Goodhead’s hotel room, he found a radio transmitter used by the CIA and determined that she was an CIA agent who was also investigating Drax. The two quickly decided to work together to find out the truth. Bond handed a glass bottle to M for technical analysis, and then rushed to Rio de Janeiro non-stop. Bond and Goodhead agreed to meet at the top of the Bread Mountain. The two met Jaws in the cable car. After a fight, Goodhead was captured by Drax's men, and Bond got away on the way.
M discovered that the toxin component of nerve gas originated from a rare orchid in the Amazon jungle. Although it is fatal to humans, it is harmless to other organisms. Bond then searched for Drax's research facility along the Amazon River. Unexpectedly, Jaws captured Bond and took him to Drax's control room. Drax admitted Bond's inference that he indeed stole the space shuttle he produced. In the chaos, Bond and Goodhead board a space shuttle and fly with the other five to the space station in Drax.
It turned out that Drax tried to throw poisonous gas into the earth's atmosphere from space, thereby destroying all human beings. Before launching the poisonous gas, Drax transported some young people of different races to the space station. He believed that they had perfect genes. After the extinction of mankind and the poisonous gas dissipated, these people would return to Earth to breed new races. In order to stop Drax's sinister plan, Bond and Goodhead must allow the long-hidden space station to enter Earth's sight
