Had Timothy Dalton starred in A View To A Kill, here's my plot

pre-title sequence takes place in Paris, with James Bond (Dalton) trying to recover an advanced microchip stolen by the Soviets at a meeting with a contact at a restaurant in the Eiffel Tower. When the contact is murdered by the mysterious assassin May Day (Grace Jones), a prolonged and violent chase takes place across the city, resulting in the assassin escaping and Bond being arrested. Back in London, and assisted by Moneypenny (Caroline Bliss) and Q (Desmond Llewelyn), Bond identifies the recovered microchip as coming from Zorin Industries, a powerful French-based company that supplies military hardware to NATO. Suspecting someone in Zorin’s organization might be working for the Soviet Union and passing hardware, M (Robert Brown) assigns Bond to investigate the organization, including its eccentric chairman Max Zorin (Christopher Walken). 007 partners up with fellow operative Tibbett (Michael Byrne), and both men enter Zorin’s massive estate, which is meant to hold a private motorcycling Grand Prix, under false identities.

After a brief encounter with Stacey Sutton (Sharon Stone or Fiona Fullerton), a woman who Zorin is attempting to buy off, Bond and Zorin immediately suspect each other and try to uncover their respective goals, with the industrialist persuading May Day – his bodyguard and lover – to seduce Bond in search of information, and Bond stealing additional microchips from Zorin’s vault. Having discovered the identity of his visitors, Zorin challenges Bond and Tibbet to what is meant to be a friendly motorcycle race, but which turns into an intense, murderous chase with May Day’s assistance. Tibbett is murdered, and Bond, left for dead after violently crashing into a nearby river, is saved at the last moment by Sutton. Learning her rescuer is the heiress to a California-based tech company, rival to Zorin, Bond enlists her help to uncover his newest foe’s plan. Before Zorin and May Day can fly to California to enact their mysterious plan, they’re unsuccessfully confronted by General Gogol (Walter Gotell), with Zorin revealed to be a former asset who has outmaneuvered and betrayed his handlers.

Landing in San Francisco, Bond partners up with old friend and CIA agent Felix Leiter (John Terry), briefly spars against KGB operative Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach), and works alongside Sutton to uncover Zorin’s goals. As the investigation goes on Bond and Sutton develop a romantic connection, and after infiltrating the San Francisco City Hall, they eventually uncover evidence that Zorin is placing extensive amounts of explosives beneath San Francisco. Ambushed by May Day and Zorin at the building, a vicious gunfight ensures. Leiter is injured, and Sutton and Bond are captured after a dramatic chase. Brought to a number of underground caves beneath the city, Zorin reveals his intent to use the explosives to cause a devastating earthquake, destroying Silicon Valley and taking out his entire Western competition. Combining his intellect with technology he has stolen from the Soviets, he is confident of an imminent technological monopoly, which will give him unprecedented power and influence to wield. To May Day’s surprise, Zorin reveals the extent of his psychopathy by setting her up to die alongside Bond, taking Sutton as a hostage and preparing to watch and celebrate the unfolding disaster from his private airship.

Disgusted by Zorin’s betrayal, May Day chooses to disable the firing mechanism in spite of it being rigged, willingly electrocuting herself in the process whilst ensuring Zorin is able to see her ruining his plans. As the businessman rages and orders the airship to take off to make his escape, Bond manages to free himself and cling to a rope, mooring the airship to the Golden Gate bridge. Once the airship crashes on the top the bridge, Bond saves Sutton from the wreckage before being attacked by a manic, axe-wielding Zorin, both men engaging in a brutal fight. Assisted by Sutton, and lowering Zorin’s guard by mocking his self-proclaimed superiority, Bond prevails in the fight and the businessman falls to his death. Shortly after, and as General Gogol visits M to award 007 with the Order of Lenin, Bond and Sutton – via a Q spy cam – are seen “together” at her mansion.
