Die Another Day Plot Summary

What happens in Die Another Day from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

MI6 agent James Bond undertakes a dangerous mission to infiltrate a North Korean military installation. He cleverly hijacks a helicopter meant to deliver diamonds to the base, planting explosives within the diamond-filled case before landing. At this base, Colonel Tan-Sun Moon (Will Yun Lee) is caught covertly trading in African conflict diamonds, a trade banned by the UN due to its role in funding warfare. However, Bond’s cover is compromised when Moon’s right-hand man, Zao (Rick Yune), sends Bond’s photograph to an unknown source. In a bid to eliminate the threat, Moon attempts to kill Bond by destroying his helicopter, but thanks to a well-timed activation of the explosives, Bond narrowly escapes a fiery demise, leading to a thrilling hovercraft chase that ends with Moon seemingly perishing in a waterfall.
