From Dusk Till Dawn is a 1996 action/horror film directed by Robert Rodriguez. Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino co-wrote the screenplay. George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, and Juliette Lewis star. Cheech Marin, Salma Hayek, Danny Trejo and Tarantino are also featured.

The version of this movie edited for television is notable as having some of the most advanced CGI ever created, which is used to mask nudity in certain scenes.

The story begins with brothers Seth Gecko (Clooney) and Richard Gecko (Tarantino) on the run from the law. Headed to Mexico, they encounter the Fuller family, whom they take hostage, and then make their way across the border.

In Mexico, they must meet a contact, Carlos (Marin) at a bar called the "Titty Twister". Carlos will meet the brothers there just before dawn. However, once inside, the Gecko brothers and their hostages, the Fuller family, discover that the keepers of this establishment are actually vampires, and they must fight them off until dawn in order to survive.
