Blade (Wesley Snipes) was born from a human woman bitten during pregnancy by a vampire. Raised by a kind soul that found him on the street, Blade has all the strengths of a vampire but only one of their weaknesses: the thirst for blood. Blade can survive in the daylight and maintains his craving for blood with the help of his adoptive father-figure Whistler (Kris Kristofferson). Blade vows to rid the world of vampires that have now mixed themselves in with human lives, taken human slaves and even started large corporations. Whistler helps Blade by creating new, high tech weapons needed to slay the other vampires. Blade finds out that a vampire corporation has come up with a plan in order to control the human race and use them as an endless food supply. Willing to sacrifice himself in order to save his half-brother humans, Blade sets out to battle.moreless
