Deckchair Cinema: The Fifth Element

New York cab driver Korben Dallas didn't mean to be a hero, but he just picked up the kind of fare that only comes along every five thousand years: A perfect beauty, a perfect being, a perfect weapon. Now, together, they must save the world. Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman star in an outrageous sci-fi adventure that is an extravagantly styled tale of good against evil set in an unbelievable twenty-third century world.
