The following is quoted from the main site "Story":
For as long as humanity has existed, there have been "Others" among us;
Witches, Vampires and Shape-Shifters who are soldiers in the eternal war between
Light and Dark.
Light Others protect mankind from Dark Others, who plague and
torture humans.
Over 1000-years ago a truce was struck between Gesser, Lord
of the Light, and Zavulon, General of Darkness. They agreed that no one could be
forced to good or evil, people must choose freely for themselves. To uphold this
truce, each side established underground forces; the soldiers of the Light would
be called Night Watch, making sure Dark Others obeyed the truce. And the
soldiers of Darkness would be called Day Watch, to do the same.
Ancient
prophecy foretells that one day the Great One will arrive who can end the threat
of an apocalyptic battle between Light and Dark Others. That day has come, and
the Great One, once he or she is identified, must choose whether to destroy the
light within or battle the surrounding darkness. This choice will reveal
mankind's destiny.
1992:Anton Gordesky, a broken-hearted man, desperate to
win back his fiancée, seeks out the black magic services of a witch. This Dark
Other, about to use her magic for evil, is arrested by the Night Watch moments
before for completing her spell. The cataclysmic event awakens Anton to discover
that he is an Other. Now he must choose whether to become a protector of light
or warrior of darkness.
Today:Somewhere on the streets of Moscow the "Great
One" wanders, oblivious to his or her powers. Anton, along with his Night Watch
team, race to find and protect the Great One from Zavulon and his Day Watch
vampires who seek to plunge the world into darkness. Whoever reaches the Great
One first will hold the balance of power in their hands and control the fate of
humanity.
NIGHT WATCH (NOCHNOI DOZOR) is the first installment of a trilogy
based on the best-selling Russian sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko (which also
includes Day Watch and Dusk Watch). This visionary horror fantasy film features
a dazzling mix of mind-blowing effects, adrenaline-fuelled action and
suspenseful terror.
NIGHT WATCH (NOCHNOI DOZOR) was an instant smash hit in
its native Russia when it was released in July 2004 shattering all previous box
office records. Made for a mere $4 million, the film surpassed both LORD OF THE
RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING and SPIDER-MAN 2 at the Russian box office.
Internationally acclaimed, it was also Russia's contender for the 2004 foreign
language Oscar® award.
