Set years after the war against the vampires, Priest: Faithless Dawn introduces a world on the brink of collapse. The Church, once humanity’s last hope, has fallen into corruption, leaving scattered survivors to fend for themselves. Vampires, thought to be nearly extinct, have returned—stronger, smarter, and more organized under a ruthless new leader, Malakar, an ancient being who has evolved beyond anything humanity has faced before.
Tom Hardy stars as Gabriel, a former elite warrior of the Church who abandoned his faith after witnessing its betrayal. Living in the wastelands as a hardened mercenary, Gabriel is drawn back into the fight when he discovers a secret the Church has hidden—Priest (Paul Bettany) is still alive, imprisoned after refusing to serve their growing tyranny. With the help of a rogue Priestess (Maggie Q) and a group of rebels, Gabriel embarks on a dangerous mission to free the legendary warrior and stop Malakar before he unleashes a new plague that could turn all of humanity into his undead army.
The film builds to an epic showdown in the ruins of a fallen city, where Gabriel must face his greatest challenge—not just the vampires, but his own fractured faith. In a climactic battle, Gabriel and Priest take on Malakar, leading to a devastating sacrifice that changes the future of the world. The film ends on a cliffhanger, teasing a final war between the remnants of humanity and the vampire hordes.
