In the darkly futuristic world of Babylon A.D., the rules are simple: kill or be killed. Hard-hitting action superstar Vin Diesel (The Fast & The Furious, The Chronicles of Riddick), stars as Toorop, a ruthless mercenary hired to smuggle a mysterious young woman from the post-apocalyptic confines of Eastern Europe to the glittering megalopolis of New York City. Hunted at every turn, Toorop spirits his charge across a nightmarish wasteland only to uncover a shocking secret that will bring the entire world to its knees. Eye-popping action and mind-blowing science fiction clash head-on in this hard-edged thriller, where the only rule is survival....

Notes
Goofs:
Continuity: After destroying the last two Range Rovers at the end, Toorop's left ankle is clearly visible. His leg must have grown back in the time it took to drive to find Aurora as it was a metal prosthesis in Darquandier's lab. (more)

Trivia:
At the time of the movie's release, director Mathieu Kassovitz openly opposed this movie, calling it a "bad episode of "24" (2001). In the interview with amctv.com , Mathieu Kassovitz said that Twentieth Century Fox interfered throughout this movie's production, which led him not to have a chance to shoot one scene the way it was written in the script or the way he wanted it to be.
