The Dracula Untold full movie follows a new origin story for Dracula. In this re-imagining of the Bram Stoker character, according to the Dracula Untold plot leaked to media, the young Prince Vlad would have to sacrifice everything in order to save his family and his people from the approaching armies of the Ottoman Empire. Led by Sultan Mehmed, the numerically more superior invaders want to take possession and control of his lands and kingdom. Vlad left with no choice and makes a pact with an ancient evil force that lives on top of a mountain. The ancient one gives Vlad a cup of his own blood to drink. Once he did, according to the Dracula Untold spoilers, Vlad turned into a vampire with great supernatural powers, which include the ability to fly, to become invisible, to teleport, and to transform himself into a horde of bats. And with his frightening new powers, he fights off the invaders from the Ottoman Empire.
By becoming Dracula, Vlad saves his people. As said by the boy shown at a scene from the Dracula Untold trailer, "Sometimes the world doesn't need another hero. Sometimes what it needs is a monster."
Watch out for the Dracula Untold release this October!
