Leon (Jean Reno) is New York's top hitman; a talented professional, with no family and no friends. However, he unwillingly becomes the guardian of Mathilda (Natalie Portman), a 12 year-old neighbour whose entire family is wiped out by some crooked DEA agents. However, Mathilda doesn't just want protection; she wants revenge. She pleads with Leon to teach her how to be a "cleaner" and avenge her family's death. From the exhilarating opening to the deadly finale, Leon, is a non-stop climax of action, suspense and shocks.
