In 1997 Besson was awarded the Cesar Award for best director for 'The Fifth Element'.

The first part of the movie was in 1914, and when the opening sequence gave way to the main body of the film, we were given the caption, '300 years later'. This would make it 2214. However, the little ticket Korben pulls out from his wall when he wakes up gives the year as 2263.

Answer: Mondoshawans

The film opens with Professor Pacoli, played by British comedy actor John Bluthal, examining a series of what appear to be hieroglyphs discovered inside an ancient Egyptian temple. A priest accompanying the professor has a secret; he is the keeper of the knowledge of the Supreme Being and a secret chamber containing four sacred stones. The Mondoshawans, an alien race encased in cumbersome environmental suits, arrive on Earth to remove the stones for safekeeping just as Pacoli realises that he has discovered a weapon of great power. The Mondoshawans leave a key to the chamber with the priest and promise to return with the sacred stones in three hundred years at a time when the Earth is prophesised to be under threat from a force of great evil.

Fans of British television comedy may recognise John Bluthal from his role as parish clerk Frank Pickle in the BBC television comedy series, 'The Vicar of Dibley'.

The professor's young American assistant Billy, played by actor Luke Perry, has a bottle of grappa in his luggage and the professor demands that they use this liquor to celebrate their success.
