Fifth Element, The

Fifth Element, The

1997

New York City in the 23rd century is a madhouse of flying taxis, street gangs and media overload. Cabbie Bruce Willis is a regular guy ... and the universe's last hope for survival as he helps the embodiment of love and life (Milla Jovovich) fight the darkness unleashed by the crazed Zorg (Gary Oldman). Director Luc Besson's vision of tomorrow has all the right elements.

It Mu5t Be Found.

  • Finally upgraded to the Ultimate Edition. This is one of my favorite movies, and it's nice to see it get the proper DVD treatment. I was going to wait for the Blue-Ray disk; but, I'm not planning on getting any HD / Blue-Ray DVDs for quite a while. But I'm looking forward to the next upgrade.
