La Femme Nikita -- From celebrated French director Luc Besson comes this 'slick, stylish and tremendously entertaining' (The New York Times) thriller about a cop-killing junkie (Anne Parillaud) turned lethally dangerous assassin.

Academy Award-winner Sean Connery ("Rising Sun," "The Hunt for Red October") stars in Fred Zinnemann's ("Julia," "High Noon") haunting tale of incestuous love set against a magnificent background of the Swiss Alps. Judith Crist writes that "Zinnemann has provided Sean Connery with one of his finest roles, and introduced to us a tantalizing new actress, Betsy Brantley."
