Some guys are never satisfied.) Also figuring in this are Cornelius (Ian Holm), a priest who knows about the five elements, Zorg who’s working for pure evil (hmmm, what tax form does he need for that?), and those plug-ugly Mangalores, whose deal with Zorg turns sour. (Although he’s clearly smitten, Korben only gives her a "9" rating. Now we’ve got a story and, it doesn’t take too much to guess, a romance. Panicked by these uniformed strangers, the newly constituted Leeloo leaps from a ledge and THUD! straight into Korben’s air-cab. Turns out, she’s the fifth element, the supreme being. Government scientists regenerate the remains until they re-create.a beautiful, powerful space babe called Leeloo (Milla Jovovich). All that’s left is a few cells of a former alien. Another problem: The good aliens have been zapped trying to stop it. An enormous fireball of badness is speeding toward the Earth threatening to consume and destroy the planet. But more about that later.īack in the present (the year 2259), it’s time for an invasion of evil. Actually, this cosmic mojo configuration requires a fifth element, which represents God, light, life-energy and perfection. (Don’t you hate it when that happens?) The only way to prevent the Earth’s demise is to line up four sacred stones that represent the elements: fire, earth, air and water. See, every 5,000 years, a doorway to a parallel dimension opens, and evil slides right in. In a flashback to the year 1914, small-headed aliens called the Mondoshawan (good extra-terrestrials for a change!) descend to Egypt to tell their human contact - a sort of high priest - that evil is at hand. Something far more ominous than crime and congestion is threatening the planet, however. The Manhattan skyline is clogged with vehicles whizzing around in collision-imminent patterns. These days, driving is a frenetic, airborne activity. The world, as usual, has gone to seed, with a big-brotherly government, mercenary rogues, hostile dog-faced aliens known as Mangalores and a punkish crime lord called Zorg (Gary Oldman). As Korben Dallas, a 23rd-century cabbie from the South Bronx, he assumes the usual Willis characteristics: He’s getting over a woman who burned him, he’s close to the wire (he’s only got five more points left on his license) and he still can’t find a razor. Empowered by his success with the "Die Hard" pictures and "Pulp Fiction," he’s our runaway marquee king. There’s so much high-voltage fun running throughout this comic sci-fantasy - engineered gleefully by director Luc Besson - you’re hard-pressed to be unaffected.īruce Willis can do no wrong these days. But if "The Fifth Element" marks any kind of precedent for the summer, there are grounds for some encouragement. We’re turbo-jetting into Hollywood’s goofyseason, when the spectacular and the stupid (usually within the same movie) will joust for our impulsive favors. But the skilled Korben Dallas has fallen in love with Leeloo and decides to help her to retrieve the : Bruce Willis, in His 'Element' Meanwhile, the Evil uses the greedy and cruel Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg and a team of mercenary Mangalores to retrieve the stones and avoid the protection of Leeloo. Leeloo tells him that she must meet Father Vito Cornelius to accomplish her mission.

She escapes from the laboratory and stumbles upon the taxi driver and former elite commando Major Korben Dallas that helps her to escape from the police. However, a team of scientists use the DNA of the remains of the Fifth Element to rebuild the perfect being called Leeloo. A Mondoshawan spacecraft is bringing The Fifth Element back to Earth but it is destroyed by the evil Mangalores. The only hope for mankind is the Fifth Element, who comes to Earth every five thousand years to protect the humans with four stones of the four elements: fire, water, Earth and air. In the twenty-third century, the universe is threatened by evil.
