Two special operatives from the Government of the human territories, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne), dedicate all their efforts in maintaining the order in the universe, specially in order to protect the future of the human race. Under the control of Commander Arün Flitt (Clive Owen), they will go on a mission in the intergalactic city of Alpha, a metropolis inhabited by thousands of different species. During a long time, the seventeen million inhabitants of Alpha have shared their knowledge and abilities in order to promote the common well-being, but invisible forces are moving in the darkness trying to destroy this status quo. This film is based in the graphic novel series 'Valerian and Laureline' from Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières.

Trivia

It's not impossible to feature The Beatles

The first two trailers use the song 'Because' by the Beatles. It is the very first time a film director could obtain the rights for using a Beatles song in a movie advertisement. Permission was granted by Paul McCartney.

So many aliens

There are 200 different alien species in this movie. Luc Besson wrote a 600 page book describing in details all the species. The actors had to read that book prior to filming so they can adjust their acting depending on the species they were interacting with.

Based upon a comic

The film is based on the French science fiction comics series 'Valérian and Laureline', written by Pierre Christin and illustrated by Jean-Claude Mézières.
