Barely out of jail, Danny Ocean already plans his next robbery: the common vault of three Las Vegas casinos. Incidentally, Ocean's ex-wife Tess had left him for the casino's owner, Terry Benedict, when he went to prison. With the help of his friend Rusty Ryan and the financial backing of Reuben Tishkoff whose casino was bankrupt by Benedict, Ocean assembles a team of ten criminals with various skills. They start by observing the casino, learning its routines, the behaviour of its staff and the building itself. They connect themselves to the casino's video surveillance system and also build a replica of the vault for rehearsing the theft. The destruction of Tishkoff's old casino causes a power loss in the district, causing the maintenance personnel to correct an issue that Ocean is planning to exploit. They solve that problem by stealing an EMP device from a university research center. Danny meets with Tess and Benedict has him barred from the casino. The heist starts with Ocean entering the casino and being detained in a surveillance-free room to be beaten up by a man who secretly works for Ocean. He reaches the elevator shaft through the ventilation system and meets Linus who entered the place pretending to be a gambling official. Meanwhile, Saul convinces Benedict to store a precious briefcase containing disguised explosives in the vault. Virgil an Turk smuggle acrobat Yen into the vault in a casino trolley and Basher uses the EMP device to cut the power, disabling the laser grid protecting the shaft. Yen then uses the explosives to open the door from the inside, letting Ocean and Linus in. Rusty calls Benedict, reveals the robbery and blackmails him into giving up half of the cash, to be put in a van waiting outside. Through the surveillance cameras, Benedict verifies the vault is compromised and surrenders to the blackmail. He calls a SWAT team while his men follow the van to the airport. The SWAT team assaults the vault but explosives are detonated, destroying the remaining money. Meanwhile, the van is found to be radio-controlled and to contain only worthless paper. Benedict dismisses the SWAT team before realizing the surveillance system has been compromised: he was watching a video filmed in the replica vault. The SWAT team was actually composed of Ocean's team who emptied it before leaving through the front door. Ocean returns to the secure room where Benedict arrives to confronts him; he is tricked into admitting that he would give up Tessa in exchange of recovering his money, but Tessa is shown the scene and decides to leave him. Ocean is sentenced to few months in prison, but Tessa and Rusty are waiting for him on his release.

In Victorian London, Frederick Treves, a surgeon, discovers John Merrick in a freak show. He pays Bytes, Merrick's “owner” to have him at his hospital to study his deformities. On his return to Bytes, Merrick is badly beaten and asks for help from Treves who gives him shelter at the hospital. Nurses are frightened because of his appearance and Treves believes at first he is intellectually disabled, but soon discovers that he can speak and read. Merrick has tea with Treves and his wife and from then starts to get London's high society interested in him and visit him in his room where he builds a model of the cathedral he can see from his window. He even receives actress Madge Kendal who gives him a copy of Romeo and Juliet; the they play some lines from it and Kendal kisses Merrick. At the same time, a night porter named Jim starts selling tickets to locals who come at night to gawk at the Elephant Man. Some members of the hospital council consider that the hospital should not pay for Merrick's lodging, but he is guaranteed a permanent residence by Queen Victory, the hospital's royal patron. One night, during Jim's showing where they invade Merrick's room, Bytes kidnap him and forces him to play the Elephant Man in the circus, this time in Belgium. Merrick is ill and weak and unable to perform, so Bytes leaves him to die in a cage. He is however rescued by the other freaks who all flee in the night. Merrick travels back to London where he is first harassed at the train station before being returned to the hospital by policemen. Merrick recovers some of his health and even attends a performance of Kendal's at the theatre; Kendal addresses the audience who then applauds him. Back in his room at the hospital he finishes his cathedral models then lies down and dies (his was aware that, due to his deformities, lying down would cause asphyxiation).

Chicago Surgeon Richard Kimble is sentenced to death for the murder of his wife. He claims to be innocent and that his wife was killed by a man with a prosthetic arm, but the police is not able to find that man. A year later Kimble manages to escape during transport when other prisoners cause an accident leading to the bus being destroyed by an oncoming train. Kimble sneaks into a hospital, tends to his wound, shaves his beard, steal clothes and escapes in an ambulance. US Marshall Samuel Gerard chases Kimble into a tunnel from which Kimble escapes through the storm drain and despite being followed by Gerard, manages to disappear by jumping from a high spillway into the river. Kimble then returns to Chicago to find the one-armed man himself, getting money from his friend and colleague Charles Nichols. Posing as a janitor at the prosthetics' department of Cook County Hospital, he manages to make a short list of patients who could be his wife's killer. He however blows his cover when he is asked during a rush in E.R. to take a boy on a gurney to another floor but instead modifies the doctor's orders so that the boy would be operated on, saving his life. Gerard deduces what Kimble is doing and produces his own list of suspects. He spots his fugitive when interviewing a jailed suspect in Chicago City Hall, but loses him during the St. Patrick's Day parade. Later Kimble breaks into the home of his last suspect, Fredrick Sykes, a former cop, now chief of security for a pharmaceutical company. Kimble finds a link between this company and Lentz, the doctor who was in charge of testing a new drug, soon to get FDA agreement, that Kimble knew was causing liver damage. Kimble phones Gerard and leaves evidence in sight before leaving. He then visits a former colleague of his at the hospital. He learns that Lentz has died in a road accident six months earlier (presumably killed by Syskes because he too had found that the drug had side-effects). Kimble then gets proof that the liver samples used for the FDA agreement are fakes, and that Nichols, now a member of the board of the company, is the only person who could have replaced them. On his way to the cardiologists' conference where Nichols is going to announce the new drug, Kimble is attacked by Sykes on a train and a transit police officer is killed; Kimble is blamed and Chicago PD wants revenge. At the hotel, Kimble confronts Nichols, they fight and end up in the laundry, followed by Gerard and his men. Kimble saves the US Marshall's life when Nichols attempts to kill him. Gerard tells Kimble they have got Sykes and proof that Nichols helped the killer to stage the burglary of Kimble's home and to kill his wife.

Dix ans après la seconde guerre mondiale, Sir Hugo Drax est un industriel britannique qui a fait fortune dans les minerais stratégiques et construit pour le royaume son premier missile balistique près de Douvres ; pour des raisons de limitations budgétaires, tous les techniciens travaillant sur la fusée ont été sont Allemands et ont été embauchés par Drax, et seuls deux policiers de Scotland Yard sont chargés de la sécurité, dont une, Gala Brand, sous la couverture de secrétaire de l'industriel. Drax fréquente le même club que M, et ce dernier le soupçonne de tricher au bridge. Il demande de l'aide à Bond, qui se fait un plaisir de faire perdre une fortune à Drax. Peu de temps après, le policier en charge de la sécurité est tué par un des techniciens pour une histoire de c½ur. Le Yard demande de l'aide à M et Bond devient le nouveau chef de la sécurité. Il découvre que son prédécesseur avait aperçu quelque chose de louche au large la nuit précédent sa mort, et Brand et lui manquent de se faire tuer par l'effondrement de la falaise alors qu'ils examinaient la plage. La veille du premier lancement d'essai, Drax part à Londres avec son homme de main, Krebs, et sa secrétaire. Brand parvient à voler le carnet dans lequel Drax note chaque jour les réglages des gyroscopes du missile que sa secrétaire calcule en fonction de données météo. Elle découvre que ces réglages emmèneraient le missile de test droit sur Londres et non pas vers la mer du Nord, mais Drax s'en aperçoit et la fait prisonnière. Ayant planifié un rendez-vous à Londres avec Brand et ne la voyant pas venir, Bond part à sa recherche et finit par poursuivre la voiture de Drax. Ce dernier provoque un accident, et Bond se réveille prisonnier dans la base aux cotés de Brand. Drax révèle être un ancien officier Nazi qui, déguisé en soldat anglais, avait posé à la fin de la guerre une bombe dans un QG britannique ; il avait été blessé dans l'explosion, a feint l'amnésie et pris une fausse identité en sortant de l'hôpital. Drax compte se venger du Royaume Uni en plaçant une ogive nucléaire fournie par les Soviétiques dans son missile et en le lançait sur Buckingham Palace. Drax ayant laissé Bond et Brand se faire incinérer par le décollage du missile, ces derniers parviennent à s'échapper et à re-régler les gyroscopes de sorte à le faire retomber dans la mer. Drax et ses hommes, qui s'étaient échappé à bord d'un sous-marin soviétique, sont tués dans l'explosion. Bond part alors à l'étranger, se faire oublier quelques temps.
