Every 5,000 years, a giant Evil globe threatens to destroy all that is Good. This may not be as dire as it sounds, because we're still here; apparently, Earth is the front line of defense in the War, and does a good job protecting the Universe. Essential in winning the time cyclic battle is "The Fifth Element" which appears in the form of supreme punk Milla Jovovich (as Leeloo). She is introduced in orange hair, white panties and a wide bandage. Wearing it well, Ms. Jovovich falls into the cab driven by bleached-blond Bruce Willis (as Korben Dallas). As the plot dissipates, humor takes over this extravagant work by Luc Besson. Whatever was intended, the visuals overpower everything except Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker, who look like they know eye candy when they see it.
***** The Fifth Element (5/7/97) Luc Besson ~ Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Chris Tucker, Gary Oldman
