The beginning of the movie shows James Bond and his friend Alec Trevelyan, agent 006, infiltrating a base in Arkhangelsk in the Soviet Union, now Russia. Trevelyan is captured and presumably killed at the hands of Colonel Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov, but Bond escapes.
Several years later, after the collapse of the USSR a prototype helicopter, the Eurocopter Tiger, is stolen from the French frigate La Fayette. Xenia Onatopp made this possble by seducing a Canadian Admiral the night before the scheduled demonstration flight and killing him by crushing his chest between her thighs during sex, allowing her to take the admiral's place the following day.
Bond discovers the dead Admiral's body, but is too late to stop the theft of the the Tiger. Ouromov and Xenia Onatopp use the helicopter, designed to withstand EMP, to steal the Goldeneye satellite controls. A technician, a woman named Natalya Fyodorovna Simonova (surname pronounced Sim-yo-ni-va) becomes the only survivor of the attack on Severnaya. Simonova is being chased by Janus operatives.
Bond is charged with finding GoldenEye and stopping Janus from doing any dastardly deed with it. His only clue is Natalya, whom he sees in satellite imagery as the only survivor of Severnaya station, escaping.
He discovers during his mission that Trevelyan is not only still alive, but in fact is the mastermind of Janus.
