The movie begins with a shuttle being stolen while being transported on the top of an airliner. The movie has also being accused of cashing in on the Star Wars (released two years earlier) craze for everything to do with space at the time. While the film is probably the most far fetched of any James Bond film, it is still also one of the most enjoyable James Bond films, being fast paced and funny.

It is also a reference to reaching for the moon, which runs parallels with the film's main aspect of travelling into space.ĭespite being the most commercially successful Bond film up to that point (only being eventually surpassed by Goldeneye, 16 years later) reviews of Moonraker were mixed - with critics citing its outlandish and over-the-top plot which bordered on science fiction. The title comes from "moonraker", a synonym for moonsail, the highest sail carried by sailing ships. The screenplay was written by Christopher Wood, who had previously co-written and novelised the screenplay for the previous film, The Spy Who Loved Me both Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me share the main plot element of a billionaire industrialist attempting to wipe out humanity and start a new civilisation in an isolated location. The film is mostly an entirely new adventure using only Fleming's character Sir Hugo Drax. It it also the final film to have Bernard Lee as M two years before his death in 1981.
