In this dark, celestial epic, Keanu Reeves and Will Smith star as Azrael and Samael — two fallen angels cast down from the heavens, condemned to roam the mortal world as punishment for defying divine command. Their sentence: recover the Three Sacred Relics stolen from the Holy Vault before they are used to awaken the ultimate evil.

The relics have fallen into the hands of Satan’s loyal legions, scattered across the Earth’s most dangerous and unholy places. But time is running out — if the relics unite under the Devil’s hand, the Gates of Hell will open and the world will burn.

Their path changes when they encounter Evelyn Hart (Scarlett Johansson), a mortal woman unknowingly born with the rare ability to open the Hellgate. Hunted by demons for her gift, Evelyn must decide whether to trust the two mysterious strangers claiming to be her protectors… or risk unleashing the darkness she was fated to keep sealed.

From rain-soaked alleyways of New Orleans to ancient catacombs beneath Rome, the film blends supernatural warfare with raw human drama. Keanu’s Azrael is stoic and scarred, haunted by his past sins, while Will Smith’s Samael hides his pain under wry humor and defiance. Together with Evelyn, they form an uneasy alliance — one that will be tested by betrayal, temptation, and the looming shadow of the Prince of Darkness himself.

Pros: Unique blend of angelic lore and apocalyptic action, magnetic chemistry between the leads, and stunning visual effects that balance beauty and terror.

Cons: The heavy mythological backstory may be dense for viewers seeking a straightforward action film.

Conclusion:

Holy Grail War: First Blood is an electrifying mix of divine redemption, human courage, and supernatural peril. It’s a war not just for relics — but for the soul of the world.
