After his investments tanked (with the help of Bond), the mathematical genius Le Chiffre desperately needs to win – or face death at the hands of his ‘clients’. In this instalment, Bond enters a high-stakes poker game to bankrupt the terrorist banker/financier – Le Chiffre (menacingly played by Mads Mikkelsen).
