Colombiana is a 2011 action thriller co-written and produced by Luc Besson, directed by Olivier Megaton, and stars Zoe Saldaña. The film centers on Cataleya, a young girl whose family is murdered by a Colombian drug lord. Fifteen years later, she becomes a trained assassin seeking revenge on those responsible for her family's death. The film follows her dangerous quest for retribution.
In 1990, Luc Besson created La Femme Nikita which was a movie that had common traits with Colombiana.
In 1992, in Bogota, Colombia, Fabio Restrepo and his wife Alicia were murdered by Don Luis Sandoval's enforcer Marco and a gang of armed men because Fabio defied him. Before their death, Fabio gave his daughter, Cataleya, a SmartMedia computer memory card containing information on Don Luis' business.
In 2007, fifteen years after her family's murder, Cataleya had become an accomplished assassin. With each murder she commits, she leaves a Cattleya flower, hoping to attract the attention of Don Luis and take her revenge.
In August 2010, filming for Colombiana began in locations including Chicago, New Orleans, Mexico, and France. The film was produced by Besson's EuropaCorp company, with a script by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen.
In 2011, the French English-language action thriller film Colombiana, co-written and produced by Luc Besson and directed by Olivier Megaton, was released. The film stars Zoe Saldaña as Cataleya, a woman seeking revenge for her family's murder.
At the 2015 CineEurope, the production house EuropaCorp announced that Colombiana 2 was in development.
In 2017, Zoe Saldaña expressed that she wouldn't mind reprising her role as Cataleya in a potential Colombiana sequel.
As of 2025, no sequel to Colombiana exists, despite previous announcements and interest.
