[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: In what decade does Ram Patel try to establish himself in New York City? 1970s
****
[A]: A 1970s New York City setting finds Indian-born immigrant Ram Patel trying to establish himself in the turbulent city-life where he encounters various hurdles that prevent him from obtaining his goals of becoming successful and wealthy. The pursuit of the American dream becomes littered with pot-holes for the earnest protagonist Ram Patel. Arriving from the airport to stay with a family friend, he finds himself instantly disliked by an African-American landlord (Floyd) that attempts to make Ram miserable.Pounding the pavement for a job, Ram is taken-on by a CPA firm run by a strict, former military crew-cut martinet who hires other Indian men like Ram to do countless hours of accounting grunt-work in a hot-box dingy office. With no money to save, he begins to borrow heavily and digs himself into insurmountable debt. In the midst of this self-inducedmisery, he sends for his wife and daughter from India and continues his "facade" of a successful appearance to his newly arrived wife by going into even further debt on more newly printed credit cards and "latched-onto" friends.These friends and co-workers begin to get irritated by his lack of commitment to payback, and this leads the protagonist being pressed into self-doubt and constant searching for both "a way out" and purposeful meaning in his life. Proclaiming to push ahead through his frustration and predicament is based more on stubbornness than enlightenment, where a "don't quit" mind-set becomes "fuel- to-the-fire" for his out-of-control situation. Ram has his car stolen, and he becomes enslaved to his increasing debt status, which makes his wife question his responsibility as a husband, father and a man. RAM's wife RANI becomes pregnant again, and he must reluctantly send her back to India to deliver their new child due to a lack of medical insurance in the USA. Rani protests, but Ram mentions "financial suicide" as to their status, and Rani goes back to India for the birth of their second daughter.Into the life of Ram Patel...

[A]:
Seeking to exact revenge on James Bond (007) for killing SPECTRE's agent, Dr. No, the organisation's expert planner, Kronsteen, devises a plan to manipulate him into stealing a Lektor cryptographic device from the Soviets. SPECTRE's leader, Number1, puts Rosa Klebb, an ex-SMERSH operative and the organisation's Number 3, in charge of the mission. Klebb recruits Donald "Red" Grant, ordering him to protect Bond until he acquires the Lektor, before killing him for it and bringing the device back to SPECTRE so they can sell it back to the Soviets. To further assist the scheme, Klebb recruits Tatiana Romanova, a cipher clerk at the Soviet consulate in Istanbul, whom she fools into thinking that she is still working for SMERSH. In London, M informs Bond that Romanova has contacted their "Station 'T'" in Turkey, offering to defect with a Lektor, which both MI6 and the CIA have been after for years. However, Romanova's message states that she will only defect if brought back by Bond, whose photo she had supposedly found in a Soviet intelligence file. Prior to his departure, Bond is supplied with an attache case containing a concealed knife, concealed gold sovereigns, and a special tear gas booby trap connected to the lock mechanism, along with an Armalite AR-7 rifle.After travelling to Istanbul, Bond heads into the city to meet with station head Ali Kerim Bey, tailed by Bulgarians working for the Russians. They are in turn tailed by Grant, who kills one of them after Bond is taken back to his hotel, stealing their car and dumping it outside the Soviet consulate to implicate Kerim Bey. After Karim Bey luckily escapes a limpet mine attempt on his life, he assists Bond the following day to spy on the Soviet consulate. Upon learning that a rival agent, Krilencu, has recently returned and suspecting he was behind the attack on his life, Kerim Bey declares it unwise to stay in the city and takes Bond with him to a rural gypsy settlement. However, Krilencu learns of this and promptly attacks with his men. While Kerim...
