La Femme Nikita (Nikita) (1990)

An urgent life-or-death dilemma befalls Nikita–the feral street girl and violent drug addict–after killing a police officer at point blank. Hopeless, Nikita is given a new lease of life, when she reluctantly exchanges her doomed fate for a secret government program that promises to mould her into a cold-blooded assassin under the wing of her sadistic mentor, Bob. Now–with a new set of skills, a new identity, and lethally sophisticated looks–Nikita is the ultimate weapon and the perfect puppet for doing the government’s dirty work; however, what happens if this trained killer chooses love over death? ??Nick RiganasAwards: 6 wins & 17 nominationsBudget: FRF 50,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $5,017,971Soundtrack: LA PETITE MUSIQUE DE NUIT (Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (as MOZART))Luc BessonAnne Parillaud, Marc Duret, Patrick Fontana (France, Italy)tt0100263
