 Tagline: The Blood War Is On.
A woman caught in a gururistic civil war between the government and a subculture of disease-modified humans, in whom speed, strength and intelligence are magnified finds herself the protector of a 9 year-old boy targeted for death.
Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans have emerged who have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease (Hemophagia), giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence, and as they are set apart from "normal" and "healthy" humans, the world is pushed to the brink of worldwide civil war (a war between humans and hemophages) aimed at the destruction of the "diseased" population.
In the middle of this crossed-fire is - an infected woman - Ultraviolet (Jovovich), who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy who has been marked for death by the human government as he is believed to be a threat to humans. It doesn’t sound possible, but writer/director Kurt Wimmer’s idea for Ultraviolet came from an unexpected source: the filmmaker was inspired to retell John Cassavetes’ 1980 cult classic Gloria as a comic book action-adventure.
