Never Say Never Again, released in 1983, is the unofficial remake of the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball. It starred Sean Connery as the famous British Secret Service agent (as did Thunderball), and was released theatrically by Warner Bros.
The film is considered an "unofficial" James Bond film because it is not part of the Bond film franchise produced by EON Productions and United Artists, even though it is currently owned by United Artists parent MGM. MGM acquired the distribution rights in 1997 after their acquisition of Orion Pictures. The film also marks the culmination of a long legal battle between United Artists and Kevin McClory.
Originally, the film was scheduled for release in direct competition against the official, EON Productions Bond film, Octopussy starring Roger Moore, which led to the media dubbing the situation "The Battle of the Bonds". Ultimately, the two films were released at different times in 1983, and both were box office successes — although Octopussy ended up making more money than Never Say Never Again.
