End of Days is a 1999 American action horror thriller film directed by Peter Hyams starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robin Tunney, Rod Steiger, Kevin Pollak, CCH Pounder, Udo Kier and Gabriel Byrne as Satan. Schwarzenegger received a salary of $25 million for his lead role in the film. In 1979, a newborn girl named Christine York is identified by Satanists—including her physician, Dr. Abel , and her guardian, Mabel —as the one chosen to bear Satan's son during the last hour on New Year's Eve, 1999, due to a symbol on her arm. As she is being born, a priest in the Vatican... witnesses a comet arching over the moon, described as the "Eye of God", heralding the birth of the one chosen to be the mother of Satan's child. The priest is then sent on a mission by the Pope to find and protect the girl from Satan's presence at all costs. However, a few Vatican Knights insist that she must be killed to prevent Satan's plans, which most of the clergy opposes, as they view that taking a life in an attempt to stop evil is sinful.
