Amazon is offering up The Fifth Element for purchase for only $2.99 through their Video On Demand service.

This digital deal is only for today, Thursday, September 16, beginning at midnight PST and runs for 24 hours, so grab it while you can. The digital version is regularly $4.99, and the 24-hour rental is $2.99. [Update – sale is now live.]

Visit the The Fifth Element product page to purchase the film, which stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, and Milla Jovovich.

Also, the Blu-ray Edition is only $16.49, and qualifies for the “Watch it Instantly” service, which means that while you wait for your Blu-ray copy to arrive, you can start watching the movie through Amazon’s On Demand service. (You will have 30 days to begin watching your rental and will have 24 hours to watch it once playback begins — so basically, you’re getting a free 24-hour digital rental with your Blu-ray purchase.)

Luc Besson directs Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman and Ian Holm in a timeless story that takes a glimpse into a non-apocalyptic future.

Visit the Video on Demand page to learn more about the service (you can stream the film right on your computer, or download it to you PC, and more).
