Priest (2011) Plot Synopsis:
PRIEST, a post-apocalyptic action thriller, is set in an alternative world -- one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece's boyfriend, a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.
In a world ravaged by wars between humans and vampires, a renegade priest fights to rescue his niece from the legions of bloodsuckers who seek to transform the young girl into one of them. A battle-weary veteran of the last vampire war, warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) now resides in a heavily fortified city where the ruling Church is a greater menace than any creature of the night. When a pack of vampires abducts Priest"s niece (Lily Collins), the vengeful holy man breaks his vows and promises to save the young innocent from a fate worse than death.
He can"t do it alone, but with a powerful warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) and his niece"s boyfriend, a sharp-shooting sheriff (Cam Gigandet), on his side, Priest may have a fighting chance: Stephen Moyer, Karl Urban, and Brad Dourif co-star.
