Blade is a 1998 action-horror film about Eric Brooks, a half-human, half-vampire warrior known as the "Daywalker." Gifted with all of a vampire’s strengths but none of their weaknesses—except for the thirst for blood—he dedicates his life to hunting down the hidden vampire underworld. When a powerful vampire overlord, Deacon Frost, seeks to awaken the blood god La Magra and enslave humanity, Blade must confront his own cursed nature and battle through hordes of supernatural enemies to stop a global catastrophe.
