For years, Blade has fought against the vampires in the cover of the night. But now, after falling into the crosshairs of the FBI, he is forced out into the daylight, where he is driven to join forces with a clan of human vampire hunters he never knew existed—The Nightstalkers. Together with Abigail and Hannibal, two deftly trained Nightstalkers, Blade follows a trail of blood to the ancient creature that is also hunting him—the original vampire, Dracula.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Wesley Snipes allegedly refused to open his eyes for many scenes, leading to infamous CGI-eye shots and on-set tensions that nearly derailed production.
This film effectively killed the Blade franchise for 20 years and sent Marvel's vampire hunter to the wilderness until Mahershala Ali's announced reboot.
