Daybreakers 🎥 2010 Movie Info

Plot Summary

A global plague caused by an infected vampire bat has transformed most of the world’s human population into immortal vampires. As the population of uninfected humans decreases, vampires are faced with a severe blood shortage, with those deprived of blood degenerating into bestial monsters called “subsiders”. Because sunlight is deadly to vampires, the vampires are active during the night, and use underground passages and UV-filtered cars for daytime travel. Humans are captured and kept alive for their blood while scientists search for a synthetic blood substitute. Edward Dalton is the head hematologist for Bromley Marks, the largest corporate supplier of human blood.

With his colleague Christopher Caruso, they work to develop a blood substitute, which they test on soldiers in the vampiric national army. Powerful CEO Charles Bromley watches these tests eagerly, wanting to build a fortune by selling the synthetic substitute to most people, while secretly planning to keep pure human blood for himself and other wealthy vampires. While driving home, Dalton accidentally runs another vehicle off the road. Discovering the occupants are humans, Dalton hides them from the police. Before they leave, their leader, Audrey, sees his Bromley Marks identification, thereby learning Edward’s name and occupation.

At home, Edward is surprised by his estranged brother Frankie with a gift of a bottle of pure human blood. The gift reignites a long standing argument – Edward refuses to drink human blood, while Frankie, a soldier, enjoys it. A subsider invades the house, forcing the brothers to kill it together. The next morning, Audrey visits Edward and sets up a meeting with Lionel ‘Elvis’ Cormac, a human who was cured of vampirism. Before Cormac can explain his reversion, a military team arrives with Frankie, who follows Edward and intends to capture Cormac and Audrey. Audrey knocks Frankie unconscious, and the three escape.
