Julio Blanco, propriétaire d'une entreprise de balances industrielles,
considère son personnel comme faisant partie de sa famille et est ravi de
pouvoir les aider dans leurs problèmes. Alors qu'il apprend la visite
imminente d'une commission devant décerner un prix local d'excellence en
affaires, il congédie José, un comptable. Ce dernier, pour protester contre la
perte de son emploi qui le conduira à perdre sa maison et sa famille,
s'installe sur un terrain vague en face de l'usine avec des banderoles pour
protester et insulte Julio avec un mégaphone à chaque fois qu'il entre et sort
de l'usine. Julio utilise aussi de son influence pour faire libérer Salva, le
fils de Fortuna, arrêté pour agression. Miralles, directeur de la production
de l'usine, accumule les erreurs parce qu'il déprime depuis que sa femme parle
de le quitter. Julio parle à cette dernière pour la convaincre de changer
d'avis, mais elle lui apprend que son mari a eu une liaison avec Ines, la
secrétaire de Julio, et l'envoie se faire voir. Il découvre alors que la femme
de Mirallese entretient une relation avec Khaled, le subordonné de ce dernier.
Julio a aussi une liaison avec Liliana, une jeune et jolie stagiaire en
marketing et apprend juste après de sa femme qu'elle est la fille d'amis de la
famille mais qu'il ne doit pas lui donner de traitement de faveur. Quand
Liliana annonce à Julio qu'elle a rompu avec son petit ami pour poursuivre
leur liaison, il décide d'ignorer la jeune femme et de ne pas l'embaucher
après son stage. Pour se débarrasser de José qui nuit à ses chances de
recevoir le prix d'excellence, il embauche la bande de Salva pour agresser son
ex-employé ; José tue cependant Salva en se défendant pendant l'attaque.
Liliana annonce alors à la femme de Julio que ce dernier l'a nommée cheffe du
marketing et ce dernier ne peut pas nier la chose sans qu'elle ne révèle leur
liaison à sa femme. Julio décide aussi de licencier Miralles et de le
remplacer par Khaled. Le jour de la visite de la commission, l'entreprise
donne la meilleure image d'elle-même et Julio est fier de recevoir le prix.

Morn
has prevented her son Davies from being delivered to the Amnion by Nick, but
Davies is now a prisoner of the Bill, the ruler of Billingate, a station in
forbidden space that caters to the needs of illegals. Nick needs his ship
repaired but has no money and resorts to selling Morn to the Amnion who have
an outpost in Billingate. Morn has however stolen Nick's anti-mutagen drug, so
she is not affected by the Amnion's experiments to transform her into a
human-looking Amnion. Some of Nick's crew has been kicked out after opposing
selling Davies to the Amnion and are now stranded on Billingate. Angus, now a
cyborg forced to work for UMCP is sent to Billingate to rescue Morn. The
Amnion still demand Davies from Nick as they want to study him, so he deals
with Angus, promising him Morn (whom Angus does not know is already in the
hands of the Amnion) in exchange for Davies. Angus manages to rescue Davies'
from the Bill's prison, but Nick then admit now having Morn anymore. Angus
then meets with with Nick's former crew members; together they enter the
Amnion's outpost and rescue Morn. Angus, Nick and his former crew then escape
in the nick of time, thanks to Nick's remaining crew sacrificing his ship.
Billingate is destroyed by Angus having tampered with its fusion reactor.
Meanwhile, Warden Dios, director of UMC Police, is scheming against his boss,
Holt Fasner, CEO of the UMC, to make UMCP independent from UMC and put it at
the service of all people in space and not only serving Fasner's greed. He
publicly admits having used Nick's pirates for covert work in the past and
having used Morn as a payment to Nick. UMCP sent Nick to Billingate to start a
rumor about an anti-mutagen drug that would render the Amnion suspicious of
the Bill and render Billingate less useful to them. The revelation is followed
by an attack on the ruling council of Earth and a freeze of its communication
with the UMC.

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.
