Synopsis
Bella Swan survived the birth of Renesmee and has completed her transformation into a vampire. For the first time, Bella and Edward can experience their relationship without the physical divide that existed between human and vampire. Bella also discovers that she takes remarkably well to her new life. Her strength is enormous, her senses are heightened and the difficulties usually associated with a newborn vampire appear easier for her to control. But Renesmee presents an entirely different problem. When Irina witnesses the child from a distance, she mistakenly believes Renesmee is an immortal child — a human child illegally transformed into a vampire. She reports what she has seen to the Volturi. Knowing the accusation could destroy their family, Carlisle and the Cullens begin contacting vampire covens around the world. They aren't assembling an army. They need witnesses. If they can prove that Renesmee was born rather than transformed, they may be able to prevent a confrontation. But as the Volturi approach Forks in overwhelming numbers, Bella, Edward, Jacob and the Cullens prepare for the possibility that words won't be enough.
The Movie Trailer
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 brings the Twilight film series to its conclusion as Bella Swan awakens to an entirely new existence.
Now a vampire, Bella must adapt to her heightened strength, senses, and immortality as she begins a new life with Edward Cullen and their daughter, Renesmee.
But the family's happiness doesn't last.
When the Volturi receive incorrect information about Renesmee and believe the Cullens have committed one of the vampire world's most serious crimes, they begin travelling to Forks to confront them.
The Cullens know they cannot defeat the Volturi alone.
With time running out, they seek vampires from around the world who can witness the truth about Renesmee — while Bella discovers that becoming a vampire has given her abilities she never possessed as a human.
The final chapter turns the Cullens' struggle into a confrontation that could determine their family's future. The central conflict over the Volturi's misunderstanding of Renesmee also echoes in contemporary film summaries.
BELLA REBORN
Bella Swan Finally Becomes a Vampire
For four films, Bella has existed between two worlds.
Breaking Dawn – Part 2 finally removes that divide.
Her transformation doesn't just let Bella stay with Edward forever. It fundamentally changes her position within the story.
The character who once needed protection discovers extraordinary strength and remarkable control over her vampire instincts.
Bella is no longer standing behind the Cullens while they protect her.
When the Volturi threaten her daughter, she stands alongside them.
PROTECT RENESMEE
The Cullens Call on the Vampire World
The threat against Renesmee expands the final Twilight film far beyond Forks.
Carlisle contacts friends and vampire covens from around the world, bringing new characters and abilities into the story as the Cullens attempt to prove that Renesmee isn't what the Volturi believe her to be.
Each witness understands the danger involved.
Standing beside the Cullens means potentially standing against the most powerful authority in the vampire world.
What begins as an accusation against one child gradually becomes a test of how much power the Volturi should be allowed to wield.
THE FINAL CHAPTER
Twilight Builds Towards One Last Confrontation
Five films of relationships, rivalries and supernatural politics converge as the Volturi finally arrive.
Bella and Edward are no longer fighting for a future together.
They already have one.
Now they're fighting to keep it.
Jacob's relationship with Renesmee has also transformed his connection with the Cullen family, bringing vampires and werewolves together against a common threat.
Bill Condon turns the saga's conclusion into its largest confrontation, while keeping the stakes rooted in the relationship that started the series.
Bella chose Edward's world.
Now she has to defend her place within it.
