Nikita is a television spy drama based upon the French film directed by Luc Besson. The television series differs from the film versions in one fundamental respect - Nikita (Peta Wilson) is innocent. She is not a killer, nor a drug user. Just a homeless young woman in the wrong place at the wrong time. Section One, a top-secret anti-terrorist organization with no affiliation to any specific government, falsely believes Nikita is a killer, and has what it takes to become a deadly operative. Because Nikita will be killed (or "canceled") if she fails to comply, she is forced to carry out the organization's ruthless methods of fighting terrorism, while attempting to keep her moral integrity intact. | |
