Save Big On This Gorgeous Fifth Element 4K Steelbook This Memorial Day

It's hard to believe, but Luc Besson's beloved film The Fifth Element just celebrated its 27th anniversary earlier this month. The wacky sci-fi adventure remains a pillar of the genre thanks to its uniquely weird vision of the future and standout performances by Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Bruce Willis, Chris Tucker, and Ian Holm.

The film oozes charm and style that few other films have ever replicated. Even Besson's later works like Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which crib from similar stylistic and thematic inspirations, didn't quite recapture the magic of The Fifth Element.
