At the age of 9, Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) witnesses his mother being killed by a vampire, Jack Barts (Marton Csokas). Some 10 years later, he unsuccessfully tries to eliminate Barts but in the process makes the acquaintance of Henry Sturgess (Dominic Cooper) who teaches him how to fight and what is required to kill a vampire. The quid pro quo is that Abe will kill only those vampires that Henry directs him to. Abe relocates to Springfield where he gets a job as a store clerk while he studies the law and kills vampires by night. He also meets and eventually marries the pretty Mary Todd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Many years later as President of the United States, he comes to realize that vampires are fighting with the Confederate forces. As a result he mounts his own campaign to defeat them. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov
