The Fifth Element
In the 23rd century, every 5,000 years an ancient cosmic force of pure evil threatens all life in the universe. Humanity's only hope lies in the mysterious Fifth Element—a perfect being who must unite with four elemental stones representing earth, air, fire, and water. When former special forces major turned cab driver Korben Dallas unexpectedly meets the enigmatic Leeloo, he becomes entangled in a race against time to prevent the destruction of Earth. Pursued by ruthless mercenaries, corrupt industrialist Zorg, and alien forces, Korben and Leeloo must recover the elemental stones before the ultimate evil reaches the planet.
