If Bond can bankrupt Le Chiffre at the casino, it could force Le Chiffre to help them out as an informant in exchange for protection. In both versions 007 is sent to bankrupt Le Chiffre, a criminal money man who is on the brink of disaster after losing his client’s money. Unlike many adaptations of Fleming’s novels, the plot is remarkably consistent with what you find on the page.
In both cases, it serves as a sort of introduction to the suave British agent with the cold eyes. Casino Royale was the first book in Ian Fleming’s James Bond series, but it was the 21st movie in the film series.
