It's the year 2214 and the universe is in jeopardy. A huge ball of molten lava and flame is hurtling towards Earth and scientist/holy man Victor Cornelius (Ian Holm) declares that in order to prevent it from destroying the planet, the four elemental stones must be combined with the fifth element, as embodied by a visitor from another world named Leeloo (Milla Jovovich). However, if the force of evil presents itself to the 

stones instead, the Earth will be destroyed and an evil being named Zorg (Gary Oldman) will trigger the 

disaster. Despite her remarkable powers, Leeloo needs help with her mission, and she chooses her 

accomplice, military leader-turned-cab driver Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis), when she literally falls through 

the roof of his taxi.
