In this combination sequel and prequel to the surprise box-office success
The Omega Code, one man becomes the leader of an evil empire that could destroy the world, and his brother must rise against him in the defense of good.
Stone Alexander (played as a child by
Gavin Fink) is a moody, dark-tempered child whose parents died shortly after he was born. The mother who adopted
Stone died several years later while giving birth to another son,
David, and
Stone is unable to forgive his brother for unwittingly taking his mother from him.
Stone goes so far as to attempt to murder
David, and their father, prominent businessman
Daniel Alexander (
David Hedison), responds by shipping
Stone off to military school. There,
Stone falls under the tutelage of
The Guardian (
Udo Kier), an instructor at the school who is actually an emissary of
Satan. While the enmity between
Stone (played as a teenager by
Noah Huntley) and
David (played by
Chad Michael Murray) cools a bit with time,
Stone once again finds himself in a bitter rivalry with his brother when they both fall in love with the same woman,
Gabriella (played as a teenager by
Elisa Scialpi).
Stone eventually wins
Gabriella's hand and they marry, as
Stone (played as an adult by
Michael York) rises to power as the ruthless leader of the military arm of the European Union;
David (played as an adult by
Michael Biehn), meanwhile, becomes a powerful figure in American politics, and is elected to the office of Vice President. What neither
David nor
Gabriella (played as an adult by
Diane Venora) fully understand is that, under the influence of
The Guardian,
Stone has taken on the role of the Antichrist, and he attempts to curry his brother's favor (and arrange events that will make
David president) in a bid for world domination. When it becomes clear to
David that the goal of his brother's campaign is to put the world in the power of
Satan,
David realizes America and its allies must join forces against
Stone's troops in a battle in Megiddo, Israel -- predicted in the Book of Revelations as the place of the final battle of good versus evil.
Megiddo: Omega Code 2 also features
Franco Nero,
R. Lee Ermey, and
Gil Colon.
