        "From Dusk till Dawn," a thrilling action horror flick released in 1996, is the brainchild of director Robert Rodriguez and writer Quentin Tarantino, based on an idea by Robert Kurtzman. The movie features a star-studded cast including Salma Hayek, Harvey Keitel, George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Ernest Liu, and Juliette Lewis. 

The story revolves around two American criminal siblings (Clooney and Tarantino) who seize a family (Keitel, Liu, and Lewis) as hostages with the intention of crossing into Mexico. However, their plans take a dark turn when they find themselves trapped in a vampire-infested saloon.
