Celebrate 30 years of Leon: The Professional, Luc Besson’s 1994 action-thriller!
Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective “cleaner”. But when his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent, he becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda. Before long, Mathilda’s thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Léon’s footsteps.
Starring a young Natalie Portman in her feature film debut, Leon: The Professional is a gripping film with equal parts action and heart.
