You know his name, recognize the tuxedo, love the gadgets, wish to drive those cars, and continue to recite the most infamous lines. His name is Bond, James Bond. The series that made spies such a treat to watch is celebrating the return of the debut film Dr. No as it returns to theaters for a special one-night showing!   

Spanning over sixty years, twenty-five films, twelve novels, two short stories, various comic books, numerous video games, and has amassed over $7 Billion in box office sales, to call James Bond a small franchise is an understatement. British author Ian Fleming created the iconic agent who made his debut in the 1953 novel Casino Royale. Seven actors have portrayed the infamous agent. Fathom Events is bringing Sean Connery’s debut appearance as 007 when Dr. No returns to theaters on Sunday, August 21, for a special one-night-only showing.   

Dr. No was released on October 5, 1962, and had its worldwide premiere at the London Pavilion. Later, on May 8, 1963, the film was released in the United States. The film’s plot concerns a special secret agent sent by MI6 in London named James Bond (Sean Connery) to investigate the disappearance of a colleague, only to discover that somebody is planning to disrupt the American space program. The film would introduce energetic action, spectacular stunts, and the first Bond Girl, Hony Rider (played by Ursula Andress). The film also features the evil Dr. Julius No (Joesph Wiseman), who happens to be a reclusive member of SPECTRE. You’ll be familiar with that organization if you know your Bond trivia.   

Dr. No will be playing in theaters on Sunday, August 21, for a special one-night showing. Tickets are available for purchase, and don’t miss your chance to witness the film that started it all! After twenty-five films, there’s nothing better than experiencing the film that gave the world the greatest spy in cinematic history.
