Initially panned by critics but adored by audiences, Twilight became an unprecedented cultural phenomenon, forged massive careers for the film’s two leads and kickstarted a whole new supernatural young-adult romance genre that remains hugely popular to this day.
After moving from sunny Arizona to the gloomy Forks, Washington to live with her father, 17-year-old Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) meets Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a handsome but mysterious teen hiding a dark secret—he’s a 108-year-old vampire. Despite repeated cautions, Bella can’t stay away from her immortal soulmate, even if being together endangers her life.
Catherine Hardwicke’s evergreen, crystalline adaptation of the beloved best-selling novel by Stephenie Meyer defined the vampire myth for a whole generation.
