Checkpoint Charlie - one of the most dangerous places in the Cold War - was the film set for the 1982 James Bond film Octopussy starring 007 actor Roger Moore.
The plot could not be more contemporary: Bond uncovers a plot by a megalomaniac Soviet general to destroy a NATO base with a nuclear bomb and trigger unilateral disarmament in Western Europe. During his investigations, he meets the mysterious smuggler Octopussy and ultimately prevents the nuclear catastrophe.
