From LA FEMME NIKITA and THE PROFESSIONAL to THE FIFTH ELEMENT, writer/director Luc Besson has created some of the toughest, most memorable female action heroes in cinematic history. Now, Besson directs Scarlett Johansson in LUCY, an action-thriller that tracks a woman accidentally caught in a dark deal who turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic. LUCY also stars Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman and is produced by Virginie Besson-Silla for EuropaCorp.
