Plot of the film

The plot of the movie revolved around Luke Evans' character who was known as Prince Vlad and a war hero. He was popular among the people of his kingdom and was ruling over them peacefully until an invader demands his life in addition to his son’s. Vlad escapes and goes to a cave about which he had heard earlier in his life.

Who turned Dracula in Dracula Untold?

There, he met a Dracula who was cursed to live in the cave. The cursed Dracula offers Vlad his blood to turn him into one. He tells Vlad that it will make him powerful enough to win against his enemy and suggests that if he can resist human blood for three days, he will turn back into a normal human being.

Vlad’s new superhuman powers help him win against his enemy but his wife figures out that something is wrong as she sees him with silver. Silver makes Draculas weak, hence it would keep in check Vlad’s urge to drink human blood. However, the enemy of Vlad deceits him and kidnaps his son and pushes his wife off a castle wall.

When Vlad reaches his dying wife, she asks him to drink her blood and turn into the powerful superhuman to find their son. Later in the plot of the film, Vlad is able to find his son back and exposes himself and his army of Draculas to the sunlight so that all of them could decay to death. However, a person brings him out of the sunlight and offers him blood, which Vlad drinks.
