Storyline
Half human - half vampire : Blade, the scourge of the night dwellers is brought to life in this cinema adaptation of the lesser known Marvel comics hero. Blade dwells in a world where vampires plot and conspire to achieve total global domination of the human race.

Able to walk by day and stalk by night, Blade must confront his ultimate adversary, the omnipotent vampire overlord Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) intent on leading a secret nation to conquer mankind. Blade must use his awesome powers and razor-sharp weaponry like never before to prevent the annihilation of the human race.

A futuristic action thriller, Blade begins as a foetus awakens in the womb of his young mother, his consciousness aroused by the torrent of vampire blood searing through her veins. Suffering from a plague inflicted by the virulent bite of a vampire, the woman's pain reaches her unborn son through their shared bloodstream. By the time the boy is delivered into the world, his mother's body is lifeless. Born with powers greater than any man or vampire, the child is to become the mythical avenger known as Blade.

Blade's destiny is a paradox. He is sworn to defend humanity, yet he is not entirely human. It is Blade's blood-cursed heritage that empowers him to understand and conquer his enemy -- an underground legion of vampires. Unbeknownst to the human population, the vampire elite operates in all levels of society: big business, government, law enforcement, and the international financial marketplace.

Together, Blade and Abraham Whistler (KRIS KRISTOFFERSON) engage in a bloody crusade to vanquish the vampires and their powerful grip on the city. With Whistlers help, Blade unearths the diabolical secret behind their most worthy adversary -- Deacon Frost. An invincible vampire, Frost has been preparing for the day when he will ascend to reign over all the vampires and lead their terrifying assault on humanity.

Frost's thirst for dominion over the world's vampires is rivalled only by his unquenchable taste for blood. In a power struggle to become overlord of the vampires, he slays the incumbent ruler and seizes control of the House of Erebus, the governing council of this secret society of deadly warriors.

Now, as their vicious new leader, Frost prepares to destroy humankind, but first he must destroy the one man who can stop him -- Blade.
