Never Say Never Again, released in 1983 by Warner Bros., is a remake of the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball. Unlike the majority of other Bond films it was not produced by EON Productions. Because of this, it is referred to as an 'unofficial' James Bond film. The film stars Sean Connery as British Secret Service agent James Bond 007. Connery had been the first actor to portray Bond in a motion picture, in 1962's Dr No, but after a series of commercially successful films Connery left the franchise in 1971. For Never Say Never Again he portrayed Bond for the seventh and final time on the screen, although he would reprise the character as a voice actor for the 2005 From Russia With Love video game.

Although the film was not part of EON's Bond film franchise, subsequent mergers and dealings mean that it is currently owned, like the rest of the series, by United Artists' parent, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer:mi6.co.uk It was released only four months after the EON Bond film Octopussy, starring Roger Moore. MGM acquired the distribution rights in 1997 after its acquisition of Orion Pictures. The film also marks the culmination of a long legal battle between United Artists and Kevin McClory that goes back to his working on the original story with Fleming and Jack Whittingham.

The title is based on a conversation between Sean Connery and his second wife, Micheline Roquebrune. After initially retiring from the role following Diamonds Are Forever (1971) he told her he would 'never' play James Bond again. Her response was for him to "Never say never again." She is credited at the end of the film for her contribution. As a result, it was the first Bond movie to use a non-Ian Fleming originated title. The film opened in the autumn of 1983 and was a commercial success, grossing $160 million at the box office.
