From La Femme Nikita and Léon: 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 returns to direct Hollywood superstar
Scarlett Johansson (The Avengers, Lost in
Translation) 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. Also starring Academy Award®
winner Morgan Freeman (Best Performance by an
Actor in a Supporting Role, Million Dollar
Baby), Lucy examines the possibility of what one
human could do if they unlocked 100 per cent of
their brain capacity and accessed the furthest
reaches of their mind.
Opening in atmospheric and bustling Taipei,
Johansson stars as Lucy, a clueless young
American student with a shady boyfriend (Pilou
Asbæk). Reluctantly tricked into delivering a
briefcase to an inner-city hotel, she is
kidnapped by Taiwanese gangsters and forced to
serve as a drug mule in a global narcotics ring.
When the bag of drugs in her stomach ruptures,
Lucy is exposed to a new synthetic substance
which changes her biological composition and
gives her superhuman abilities. On the run from
the cartel in Paris, she teams up with a French
police officer (Amr Waked) and seeks out a
distinguished professor (Freeman) in order to
fully comprehend her newfound capabilities and
share her knowledge with the rest of society.
Starring Korean megastar Min-sik Choi (Oldboy, I
Saw the Devil), Amr Waked (Syriana, Salmon
Fishing in the Yemen), Pilou Asbæk (Sex, Drugs &
Taxation, A Hijacking), Analeigh Tipton (Warm
Bodies, Crazy, Stupid, Love.) and Julian
Rhind-Tutt (Rush, Notting Hill), Lucy is a
thought-provoking and must-see action thriller.
