Take a deep dive into the rich and complex history of Thunderball, the self-crowned ‘biggest Bond of all.’ Synonymous with ‘Bondmania’, the film’s preproduction has a long, tangled history and lasting consequences for the franchise.
This issue of MI6 Confidential revisits the drafting with an insightful look back at the various script revisions before Thunderball went into production, tests the waters of the censor’s sensibilities and hosts a rarely seen suite of retrospective interviews with the principal cast and crew.

- A Modern Mythology - Producers interviewed on the brink of Bondmania
- In Their Own Words - Cast and crew reflect on the biggest Bond of all

- Geopolitics & Genders - The globalism and masculinism of 007 explored
