Dopo aver recuperato al Cairo, battendo la spia sovietica Anya Armasova, un microfilm con il segreto per sconvolgere le difese atomiche della Nato, James Bond, viene incaricato di far luce sulla scomparsa di due sommergibili nucleari. Poichè uno di questi è russo (e avendo Gran Bretagna e Unione Sovietica deciso di unire le loro forze per l'occasione), James Bond si trova a collaborare proprio con Anya. Insieme, le due spie scoprono che a far sparire i sommergibili è stato l'armatore nordico Stromberg, il quale, giudicando il mondo prossimo allo sfacelo, intende fondarne uno nuovo nelle profondità marine. A tal fine vuole distruggere, con i missili dei due sommergibili, sia New York che Mosca, i centri vitali delle superpotenze responsabili del destino che attende l'umanità.
