ActionAdventureSci-Fi126 min

In 2257, former special forces officer turned cab driver Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) is pulled into a fight for humanity’s survival when a mysterious young woman drops into his taxi. Milla Jovovich is Leeloo, an otherworldly figure bound up with four ancient stones that may be Earth’s only defense against an approaching cosmic threat. As Korben is chased by the military, shadowy religious guardians, and a ruthless arms dealer played by Gary Oldman, the story barrels through a packed 23rd-century world of flying cabs, towering city traffic, alien opera, and flamboyant high-fashion sci-fi design.
