Based on Frank Miller's comic book characters, ELEKTRA is a movie directed by Rob Bowman in 2004.
Elektra is an assassin for hire. Her next target is Mark Miller and his daughter Abby. After having met them, she decides not to fulfill her job. Furthermore, she saves their lives by killing the hitmen who have been chosen to stand in for her. Elektra soon learns that Abby is a gifted kid that an evil organization called The Hand wants to stamp out. She will help Abby to fight Kirigi and his supernatural warriors who are hunting them.
