This is the 5th 007 adventure, set against the lush splendor of Japan, and a wicked plot to precipitate World War III. Someone is snatching space capsules out of the sky...the Americans blame the Soviets, who in turn accuse the U.S., and both sides are gearing up for the ultimate confrontation. Only one man can save the world from the coming catastrophe - Agent 007. But can he act in time? Highlighted by a spectacular set - a missle silo concealed within a dormant volcano - and a sensational air battle between SPECTRE forces and Bond's "autogyro" - an amazing plane that can be disassembled and fit into 4 small suitcases, You Only Live Twice is one of the most thrilling Bond films ever made.
This is the first time we have ever seen Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the #1 of SPECTRE. Up till now, we've only seen him from behind or only his pure white cat. Donald Pleasence has the distinction of being the first "on-screen" Blofeld.
Blofeld has been played by 3 different actors, twice as a baldheaded man and once with a full head of hair.
