Synopses for Point of No Return (1993)
1.
In a grim future America, Maggie (Bridget Fonda), a beautiful young street punk, is about to be executed for killing a cop during a robbery, and is given the choice between death or becoming a government assassin. She accepts the latter and is trained in all manner of martial (and feminine) arts. She ably carries out her deadly assignments, and is groomed to become a powerful killer. Maggie is given a new identity, becomes the seductive Claudia, and is sent to Venice, California, where she begins her new life. But the training takes only too well: the formerly amoral murderess proceeds to fall in love with a photographer (Dermot Mulroney) and develop a conscience. Now she wants out, but the government isn't about to let her go without a fight. Director John Badham's remake of French director Luc Besson's LA FEMME NIKITA is a stylish and thrilling adaptation, featuring a solid performance from Bridget Fonda.

The government gave her a choice. Death. Or life as an assassin. Now, there's no turning back.
She is society's worst nightmare. A scruffy, antisocial misfit, she's been convicted of murder and sentenced to die. But a covert government agency may be able to transform her into a sleek, cool-as-ice assassin. Her choice: learn to kill on command--or die as the courts have declared.
Maggie (Bridget Fonda) is dressed to kill, trained to survive and set loose in a deadly world--where unexpected romance can complicate things even more.
