Retrieving a specific document using .find_one()
Where .find() returns a cursor to all documents matching a filter query, .find_one() returns the first document that matches the filter query. This is useful for specific use cases (like looking for a specific movie), as well as for limiting how many results the MongoDB server returns.
To refresh your memory on all available fields in the movies collection, the first document in the collection has been printed for you.
