In the early 1980s, the James Bond film series was in a period of transition, with aged series star Roger Moore, whose tenure as Bond began with the 1973 installment Live and Let Die and ended with the 1985 release of A View to a Kill, poised to retire as Bond. With the series in a state of upheaval, Hollywood saw an opening with which to create its own successor to Bond.
