'''''Nikita''''' is a 1990 French film by [[Luc Besson]] (director of ''[[The Fifth Element]]''). Released in America as ''La Femme Nikita'' (just so everyone would understand it was in French).
 
Nikita (Anne Parillaud) is a young junkie who (along with her friends) holds up a pharmacy and ends up killing a police officer. She's sent to prison and finally sentenced to death via lethal injection. Strapped down to a chair, she's injected...and wakes up to another life. A life working for a shadowy government agency. She will be taught how to kill, how to be a lady, how to be a spy, all in the service of her country.
 
Remade in America as ''Point Ofof No Return'' with Bridget Fonda in the Nikita role. There have been two television adaptations so far: ''[[La Femme Nikita]]'' with Peta Wilson and ''[[Nikita (TV series)|Nikita]]'' with Maggie Q.
