In 1963, a young Sean Connery made his unforgettable debut as James Bond in Dr. No, the first part of what would become an iconic saga. This role catapulted Connery to fame and fortune, but it also cast a long shadow. Struggling to escape the 007 persona, Connery sought deeper roles, facing many battles, setbacks and disappointments along the way.

By the end of this journey, Connery has evolved from suave action hero to distinguished elder, retaining his undeniable charm. He went on to mentor a new generation of stars in classics like The Untouchables and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, earning a place among contemporary cinema's most revered actors.

This film delves into Connery's legendary career through rare and exclusive footage, insights from co-stars and directors including Andy Garcia, John Boorman and Rob Brown, and analysis from biographers Michael Feeney Callan, Christopher Bray and Lisa Funnell.
