Whether you’re a supreme, cosmic being or just another meat popsicle, you don’t want to miss The Fifth Element at the Senate Theater.

A science-fiction cult classic with elaborate, over-the-top style

The Fifth Element is an extravaganza of big movie stars, bigger performances and galactic scope. It is a garish vision of a wasteful and corrupt future as goofy, unhinged and colorful as it is dystopian. But beneath all the camp and color lies the belief that the “divine light” of love can conquer all — even an “ultimate evil” from the deepest, darkest depths of outer space. 

Hollywood writer Robert Mark Kamen (The Karate Kid, Taken) and French writer/director Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, Léon: The Professional) worked together to blend their American and European sensibilities, giving birth to this

perhaps the oddest sci-fi extravaganza to ever make a killing at the international box office.

And though it divided critics at the time, The Fifth Element has only grown in popularity and esteem since its release. Not only a lavish visual spectacle of practical and computer effects with exciting action sequences, it also boasts iconic turns from the likes of Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman and Milla Jovovich. 

We’ll see you at the theater! (Multipass not required for entry.)
