Plot Summary
Jean Reno (Mission: Impossible, Ronin, The Crimson Rivers), Gary Oldman (Sid and Nancy, Romeo Is Bleeding, The Dark Knight), Danny Aillo (Fingers, Do the Right Thing, A Brooklyn State of Mind) and Natalie Portman (V for Vendetta, Goyas Ghost, Mars Attacks) in her film debut, all star in this highly influential, seminal '90s action/thriller.

Twelve-year-old Mathilda lives within the desperate confines of a squalid New York apartment block. On returning from a shopping trip Mathilda finds that her abusive, dysfunctional family (and her beloved younger brother) have been slaughtered by a psychotic, drug dealing police officer. In fear for her life she takes refuge with her reluctant, mysterious and solitary neighbour. His name is Leon and hes one of the worlds deadliest assassins. And while Mathilda begins to teach him how to live, Leon begins to teach her how to kill.
