Thunderball

Detonating spherical device

Thunderball is the fourth James Bond film (1965) and the ninth novel by Ian Fleming, featuring an underwater battle over stolen nuclear weapons.

The title refers to the operation's code name.

Outside the Bond context, thunderball occasionally appears as a dramatic compound suggesting explosive power or a ball of lightning, though such uses are rare and likely influenced by the franchise.
