The plot of Casino Royale sticks pretty closely to the original Ian Fleming novel, with Bond going up against Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), banker to the world\'s terrorists, in a game of high-stakes poker at the Casino Royale. In this film, we see how Bond achieves his 'license to kill' status, and how he became the 'James Bond' that we\'ve come to know.
With Casino Royale, the James Bond franchise gets a 'reboot', ala Batman Begins, and a new actor (Daniel Craig) has come in to replace Pierce Brosnan after four outings as 007.
