What is a fanlisting?
A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are); they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans. TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not official) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting the fans.


Mathilda (Natalie Portman), a twelve-year-old girl with a black eye, living with her dysfunctional family in an apartment down the hallway. Mathilda's father (Michael Badalucco) attracts the ire of corrupt DEA agents, who have been paying him to store cocaine in his residence, after they discover that he has been hoarding some of the drugs for himself. A cadre of agents storm the building, led by a ragged and drug-addicted Norman "Stan" Stansfield (Gary Oldman), and murder Mathilda's entire family, missing her only because she was out shopping when they arrived. When she returns with the groceries she was sent to buy, she calmly continues down the hallway past the open door of her family's apartment, and receiving sanctuary from a reluctant Léon.

Mathilda, who soon discovers that Leon is a hitman, begs Léon to become her caretaker, and teach her his skills as a "cleaner": she wants to avenge the murder of her brother, the only member of her family that she loved. In return, she offers herself as a maid and teacher, remedying Léon's illiteracy. Léon accepts her offer, and the two begin working together, slowly building an emotional attachment between one another, with Léon becoming a friend and father figure.

As Mathilda increases her confidence and experience, she locates Stansfield, follows him to his office in the DEA building in an attempt to kill him, only to be ambushed by Stansfield in a restroom. Leon, discovering her intentions after reading a note left for him by Mathilda, infiltrates the building and rescues her, shooting several of Stansfield's men during the process.

Stansfield, enraged that what he calls the "Italian hitman" has gone rogue and is killing his own men. He confronts Tony and tortures him into surrendering Léon's whereabouts. One day, as Mathilda returns home from grocery shopping, an NYPD ESU (Emergency Service Unit) team, sent by Stansfield, takes her hostage and attempts to infiltrate Léon's apartment. Léon ambushes the ESU team and holds one of their members hostage, bartering for Mathilda's freedom. As they slink back into the apartment, Léon rips open the wall to get at a small ventilation shaft in the kitchen and sends Mathilda down it to safety moments before a rocket-propelled grenade rips into the apartment.
