End of Days

Actors: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gabriel Byrne, Robin Tunney
PlotIn 1999, as the millennium approaches, prophecy foretells that Satan will come to Earth to take a bride, whose offspring will bring about the end of the world. The chosen woman, a young and innocent New Yorker named Christine, is unaware of her destiny as the millennium's end approaches. Her fate catches the attention of a disillusioned former New York City police officer turned private security specialist. Struggling with his own demons and crisis of faith, he stumbles upon the ominous prophecy and learns of Satan's plan to take a mortal bride. As events unfold, he becomes Christine's unlikely protector, determined to prevent the dark prophecy from being fulfilled.
Tasked with the ultimate battle between good and evil, the protector's resolve is tested at every turn. The adversary, Satan, assumes a human form, using charm and power to fulfill his quest and ensure his legacy. As the final days of the millennium draw near, the streets of New York become a battlefield for the souls of humanity. The protector must navigate a world where evil lurks in the shadows, allies are few, and the line between right and wrong blurs. With time running out, he confronts his own doubts and fears, rallying the strength for a final stand against darkness, in a fight not just for the survival of a young woman, but for the future of mankind itself.
