Synopsis

DRACULA 2000's update begins with team of techno-savvy thieves who break into a high-security vault, hoping to steal priceless artworks. To their utter disbelief, the vault instead hides a well-protected crypt, a crypt that has not been opened in 100 years, a crypt that will unleash Dracula's ancient terror upon the modem world - and all who come into contact with him.

Dracula, freed at last from a century in confinement, finds himself in a 21st century of chaos and temptation, of Virgin record stores and subterranean nightclubs, where he fits right in. His first destination is the United States - the ultimate location for his charismatic seductions of beautiful young women and his unceasing quest for power - but there is another reason he has come here. Somewhere in New Orleans is a young woman Dracula must find ... the only person on earth with whom he truly shares his dark legacy.
