Movie Summery: We find ourselves fast-forwarded to the year 2263, where Army major-turned taxicab driver Korben Dallas (Bruce Willis) is off trying to save the world with the Fifth Element a.k.a. "The Perfect Being" a.k.a. Leeloo (Milla Jovovich) and these two priests (well one is a wannabe priest in training) Vito Cornelius (Ian Holm) and David (Charlie Creed-Miles) (the only "normal" name in the entire movie!) from the wealthy asshole Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) who is bent on collecting these stones that are used to unlock Leeloo's weapon "Divine Light". But low and behold every movie must have the obnoxious character and this one is no exception. Ruby Rhod (Chris Tucker) is the ever annoying and ultra flamboyant radio personality that somehow manages to actually be useful in aiding our heros in their fight against the Great Evil. Not a common trait for annoying characters to actually be useful. Of course Korben eventually ends up kicking serious ass while Leeloo has to decide whether or not if the Earth is worth saving. What will she decide? Watch the movie and find out for yourself!
