Fathom’s Big Screen Classics journeys to the 23rd century with The Fifth Element, returning to theatres on July 26 and 27, 2026.
Bruce Willis stars as Korben Dallas, a New York cab driver turned unlikely hero, in this timeless story about love and survival set in the 23rd century. In this future world posited by acclaimed director of Lucy and The Professional, humanity has wandered out among the stars, spreading the life-energy of the universe and further agitating the dark force, whose time to strike back occurs only once every 5,000 years, when a doorway between the parallel dimensions briefly opens.
That time is now, and Zorg (Gary Oldman), the agent of darkness, intends to take advantage of it. Humanity’s hopes may lie with Leeloo (Milla Jovovich), who represents the fifth element, the life force. Leeloo holds unimaginable powers, but she needs help, and Korben befriends her. Nothing less than the future of the universe is in their hands.
Every Fathom’s Big Screen Classics screening features an exclusive introduction by cinema critic and historian Leonard Maltin, who discusses the landmark film’s timeless appeal and offers special insight.
Tickets for The Fifth Element are available now online and at participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change). For more information, visit Fathom Entertainment.
