From Dusk Till Dawn

From Dusk Till Dawn

Academy Award-winner Quentin Tarantino, along with director Robert Rodríguez, transforms the vampire genre as skillfully as he did film noir with "From Dusk Till Dawn," an action-packed thriller about a showdown between bank robbers and vampires in a seedy Mexican strip joint.

The film stars Harvey Keitel, Quentin Tarantino and Holly wood's newest sensation, George Clooney, star of the hit NBC series "ER."

In a desperate run for the Mexican border, a pair of murderous, bank-robbing brothers kidnap an ex-preacher, his two teenage children and their family motor home. In a tension-filled flight from justice, they eventually manage to get over the border - headed for a rendezvous in a remote Mexican bar. All they have to do is hang out from dusk till dawn. But this seemingly simple visit becomes a f renzied all-night battle when it turns out that the patrons of the bar are in fact a blood-thirsty pack of vampires.
