Synopsis
Featuring the cinematic vision of cutting-edge Russian director/writer Timur Bekmambetov, DAY WATCH (DNEVNOI DOZOR) is the second instalment of a trilogy based on the best-selling sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko entitled NIGHT WATCH, DAY WATCH and DUSK WATCH.
Set in contemporary Moscow, DAY WATCH (DNEVNOI DOZOR) revolves around the conflict and balance maintained between the forces of light and darkness, which is the result of a medieval truce between the opposing sides.
Day Watch agent Anton (Konstantin Khabensky) is attempting to find and save his son from the forces of Darkness. However, when Dark Others start mysteriously being killed, Anton is framed for their murders. While trying to escape those looking for his blood, he comes into possession of a device that can restore life to Moscow, a city which comes dangerously close to being destroyed by an apocalyptic event.
