End of Days is a 1999 action/horror film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by Peter Hyams. It also featured Robin Tunney, Rod Steiger, Kevin Pollak, CCH Pounder, Udo Kier, and Gabriel Byrne as Satan. Schwarzenegger received a salary of $25 million for his role in the film
In 1979, a newborn girl named Christine York is identified by Satanists—including her doctor, 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, 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 group of a few Vatican Knights (led by a corrupt cardinal) insist that she must be killed to prevent Satan's plans, to which most of the clergy (including the Pope) opposes, as they state that taking a life in an attempt to stop evil is sinful.
Twenty years later, near the end of 1999, retired cop Jericho Cane, in a constant state of depression since his wife and daughter were murdered by a hitman, is assigned to protect a Wall Street banker; Cane now works for an elite security and protection company. They are attacked by a priest named Thomas Aquinas, who is eventually captured and taken to a hospital. Unknown to Cane, Aquinas somehow knew the real identity of the banker—he has been possessed by Satan and now wields great powers. Satan locates Aquinas and brutally murders him, crucifying him on the ceiling. Cane and his co-worker/friend Bobby Chicago see a name amongst many other things scratched into Aquinas's skin, and after some guesswork, begin searching for Christine York.
