Why are people trying to kill her? Because she's some sort of messianic "chosen one," of course. (This is the Wachowskis we're talking about.) From the looks of things, the quest to rescue her spans across planets, and involves laser battles, space kung fu, a beam-of-light elevator, and a whole bunch of Earth racists (apparently we are "under-developed").
