La Femme Nikita: Mother on AllMovie

Nikita (Peta Wilson) poses as the long-lost daughter of Helen Wicke (Alberta Watson), a sociopath who runs a vicious arms-dealing operation with her husband, John (Wayne Best). It's all part of a scheme hatched by Operations (Eugene Robert Glazer) to retrieve a stolen nuclear trigger. Not surprisingly, the plan has its flaws, and before long both Helen and Nikita are eminently expendable.
