FROM the pages of Marvel Comics, creator of 'X-Men' and 'Spider-Man', comes 'Elektra', a warrior caught in the ultimate battle between good and evil.
Jennifer Garner stars in the title role as the strong, mysterious action heroine, a lethal synthesis of grace and power.
Not long after recovering from seemingly mortal wounds, Elektra has severed all ties with the world, living only for her next assignment. But in an unexpected turn of events, she is forced to make a decision that can take her life in a new direction or destroy her.
Key players in Elektra's journey are Stick, a blind martial arts master responsible for Elektra's resurrection, and Mark and Abby Miller, a father and daughter on the run from The Hand, a powerful syndicate whose members practice the dark martial art of ninjitsu.
After Jennifer Garner made a brief, tantalizing appearance as Elektra in the film 'Daredevil', executives were eager to have her reprise the role, this time in her own motion picture.
Directed by Rob Bowman ('The X Files Movie', 'Reign Of Fire') and heavily influenced by the Asian flavoured cinema of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', 'Kill Bill' and 'Hero', 'Elektra' is poised to take the martial arts action movie to a whole new level.
With spectacular stunts, electrifying martial arts sequences and one of Hollywood's most appealing actresses taking centre stage as the beautiful and deadly assassin, the mystical epic promises to be a killer at the box office in 2005.
We have teamed up with Cineworld St Helens and Twentieth Century Fox to offer our readers three pairs of free tickets to see Elektra, plus we also have one Elektra backpack and armband, three t-shirts and three key chains to give away.
