  Chapter Summaries & Analysis

"Goldfinger" is a classic spy thriller featuring the dashing British gentleman spy James Bond, Agent 007. Bond works for the British Secret Service and is one of the elite "00" operatives with a "license to kill." After breaking up a heroin smuggling ring, Bond crosses paths in Miami with a British millionaire, Auric Goldfinger, who is obsessed with gold and has hoarded away enormous quantities of it. Under cover, Bond eventually gets closer to Goldfinger and becomes part of his outrageous scheme to rob Fort Knox of its gold. Bond also learns the Goldfinger is a major financier of SMERSH, the Soviet secret spy ring. With the help of the US military, Bond foils Goldfinger's plan, but he escapes. Later, Goldfinger kidnaps Bond and steals an airplane, intending to turn Bond over to SMERSH agents. Bond daringly forces the plane down over Canada, killing Goldfinger and most of his henchmen while surviving himself. (read more)
