As KGB officer Major Amasova of the Soviet army - a Russian code-named Agent XXX, she was assigned by General Gogol (Walter Gotell), the KGB's head, to investigate the disappearance of a Russian submarine. At the same time, Bond (Moore) was investigating the disappearance of a British sub. Both vessels were apparently abducted by a mysterious giant underwater craft. Amasova and Bond met in the city of Cairo at the Giza Pyramids during a pyramid light show. In the plot, villainous, racist shipping tycoon/magnate Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens) was intent on drowning all life on Earth except for his own underwater hideout named Atlantis - his scheme for world domination was to aim the missiles of the stolen submarines at various strategic targets to flood everything. After Bond killed Amasova's lover, a fellow Russian agent during a downhill ski chase in Austria, she sought revenge until she fell in love with 007 when he saved her life from attack by Stromberg's gigantic henchman Jaws (Richard Kiel). She was the first liberated Bond girl. When they talked about survival strategies, Bond agreed with her when she suggested: "When necessary, shared bodily warmth." In the final scene in an escape pod when in bed with Amasova, Bond explained to his superiors what he was doing: "Keeping the British end up, Sir." She was the "first girl-power Bond beauty" who posed for Playboy to promote the Bond film.
