During his investigation in Strangways' house Bond sees a photograph of a boatman with Strangways. Bond locates the boatman, named Quarrel, but finds him to be un-cooperative. Bond also recognises Quarrel to have been the driver of the car that followed him from the airport. Bond follows Quarrel and is about to be beaten by him and a friend when the fight is interrupted by the second man who followed Bond from the airport: he reveals himself to be CIA agent Felix Leiter and explains that not only are the two agents on the same mission, but also that Quarrel is helping Leiter. The CIA has traced the mysterious radio jamming of American rockets to the vicinity of Jamaica, but aerial photography cannot determine the exact location of its origin. Quarrel reveals that he has been guiding Strangways around the nearby islands to collect mineral samples. He also talks about the reclusive Dr. No, who owns the island of Crab Key, on which there is a bauxite mine: the island, and mine, are rigorously protected against trespassers by an armed security force and radar.

During a search of Strangways' house, Bond found a receipt, signed by Professor R. J. Dent, concerning rock samples. Bond meets with Dent who says he assayed the samples for Strangways and determined them to be ordinary rocks. This visit makes Dent wary and he takes a boat to Crab Key where Dr. No expresses displeasure at Dent's failure to kill Bond and orders him to try again, this time with a tarantula. Bond survives and after a final attempt on his life, sets a trap for Dent, whom he captures, interrogates and then kills.

Having detected radioactive traces in Quarrel's boat, where Strangways' mineral samples had been, Bond convinces a reluctant Quarrel to take him to Crab Key. There Bond meets the beautiful Honey Ryder, dressed only in a white bikini, who is collecting shells. At first she is suspicious of Bond but soon decides to help him, leading them all inland to an open swamp. After nightfall they are attacked by the legendary "dragon" of Crab Key which turns out to be a flame-throwing armoured tractor. In the resulting gun battle, Quarrel is incinerated by the flame-thrower whilst Bond and Honey are taken prisoner. Bond and Honey are decontaminated and taken to quarters before being drugged.

Dr. No is a 1962 spy film, starring Sean Connery; it is the first James Bond film.

In the film, James Bond is sent to Jamaica on an investigation into the death of a fellow British agent. The murder trail leads him to the underground base of Dr. Julius No, who is plotting to disrupt an early American manned space launch with a radio beam weapon. Although the first of the Bond books to be made into a film, Dr. No was not the first of Fleming's novels, Casino Royale being the debut for the character; however, the film makes a few references to threads from earlier books.

Dr. No was produced with a low budget, but was a financial success. While critical reaction at release was mixed, over time the film received a reputation as one of the franchise's best instalments. The film was the first of a successful series of 22 Bond films; a 23rd is planned for release in 2012. Dr. No also launched a successful genre of "secret agent" films that flourished in the 1960s. The film also spawned a spin-off comic book and soundtrack album as part of its promotion and marketing.

Many of the iconic aspects of a typical James Bond film were established in Dr. No: the film begins with an introduction to the character through the view of a gun barrel and a highly stylised main title sequence, both created by Maurice Binder. Production designer Ken Adam established an elaborate visual style that is one of the hallmarks of the Bond film series

..:: Italian synopsis ::..
Il film comincia in Giamaica, dove l'agente inglese John Strangways e la sua segretaria sono assassinati da tre neri che si fingono ciechi. A Londra James Bond è convocato nell'ufficio del suo capo M, che lo costringe a cambiare la sua vecchia pistola Beretta con una potente Walther PPK, consegnatagli dal responsabile equipaggiamento, il maggiore Boothroyd.

007 è incaricato di andare in Giamaica e indagare sulla misteriosa sparizione di Strangways e della sua segretaria. All'aeroporto di Kingston Bond passa davanti a una ragazza sospetta che cerca di fotografarlo. Un tassista lo ferma per accompagnarlo alla casa del Governatore. L'autista è in realtà uno scagnozzo del nemico, che si suicida dopo uno scontro con Bond per non rivelargli l'identità del suo mandante. Subito dopo 007 si incontra con il governatore Pleydell-Smith e il generale Potter, che abitualmente giocava a carte con Strangways. Bond scopre che quest'ultimo era un grande appassionato di pesca e che spesso affittava la barca di tale Quarrel, un pescatore della zona. Questi inizialmente, non essendo sicuro delle intenzioni della spia, decide di non collaborare. Ma dopo che Bond mette al tappeto lui e Pussfeller, proprietario del bar locale, Quarrel scopre grazie all'intervento di Felix Leiter, un agente della CIA, che 007 è del servizio segreto britannico.
