The Secret Life of James Bond Trilogy

Dr. No (1962)

It starts in 1961 when a Scottish spy takes the code name James Bond 007 and begins covert operations for the British government.

We see a young(ish) man working as a spy and at the top of his game. An SAS trained killer.

The Rock (1996)

Flash forward 34 years and we find out his life took an unfortunate turn.

They call him “John Mason” now but he has no legitimate identity. The FBI and CIA believe he is an SAS assassin but the British government denies his existence. He was incarcerated on Alcatraz island in 1962, escaped in 1963, recaptured, sent to San Quentin, escaped in 1976, recaptured some time later, and held at Wolfburg ever since without ever being charged or tried for anything.

At the end of the movie, Mason fakes his death to escape the CIA yet again. A few years later we learn he has found a new use for his skills.

The Entrapment (1999)

Having created the new identity of “Robert ‘Mac’ MacDougal”, he embarked on a successful career as a high-end, professional thief until he’s discovered by a beautiful insurance agent. However, by the end of the movie, the girl falls for him. They elude the FBI and disappear together.
