The film begins with college student [[Riley Biers]], walking out of a bar in [[Seattle]] at night, in the pouring rain. A few minutes after he enters an alleyway, he is knocked down a few times, by a dark figure ([[Victoria]]). In a desperate attempt to evade his attacker, he takes off running. Unfortunately, he reaches a pier, where he hesitates to jump into the water; as he hesitates, the figure catches up with him and bites his right palm, leaving a crescent-moon shaped bite mark on it; he is left screaming and thrashing in agony, initiating his excruciating transformation into a newborn [[vampire]].

The newborn [[Seattle's newborn army|army]] keeps growing, but members are extremely careless in their feeding, much to the dismay of the people of Seattle, the [[Forks]] police including [[Charlie Swan]], and the [[Olympic Coven|Cullens]]. News headlines and columns about the murders and disappearances blanket the newspapers. Back in Forks, Edward and Bella discuss some of the complications of becoming an immortal [[Vampire|vampire]]. Also, Bella makes the effort to keep in touch with [[Jacob Black]], her best friend, but he refuses to return her calls. Charlie decides to unground Bella, as she had been for leaving Forks, on the condition that she spends more time with [[Jacob]] and her other [[human]] friends.

Charlie is investigating the disappearance of [[Riley Biers]], reported missing over a year earlier. In the meantime, Edward suspects it to be associated with the newborn vampires in [[Seattle]]; further proving his suspicions is the intrusion of Riley in Bella's room, in which he steals a red blouse with Bella's scent on it, in order for the newborns to recognize her scent. On one occasion, [[Alice Cullen|Alice]] has a [[precognition|vision]] of Victoria's return, so Edward takes Bella to [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] to visit her mother and to assure her safety while the Cullens and the wolf pack chase Victoria.

Bella finds out about this during Edward and Jacob's argument, also discovering that Victoria is back, and follows Jacob down to [[La Push]] for both a visit and to learn more about the incident. Although Edward fears for her safety, Bella convinces him that Jacob and the [[Shape-shifter|werewolves]] would not harm her. When Edward catches Riley's scent, he suspects that someone is making a plan and agrees to team up with the La Push werewolves to protect Bella and [[Charlie]] from the possible danger. From then on, Bella begins to spend more time in La Push. During one of these trips, Jacob suddenly confesses his love for her and forcibly kisses her. Bella, both shocked and outraged, angrily punches him in the face and breaks her hand by mistake (though [[Jacob]] feels no pain at all).

"Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction Ice is also great And would suffice."
―Bella Swan quoting Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice"[src]
The film begins with college student Riley Biers, walking out of a bar in Seattle at night, in the pouring rain. A few minutes after he enters an alleyway, he is knocked down a few times, by a dark figure (Victoria). In a desperate attempt to evade his attacker, he takes off running. Unfortunately, he reaches a pier, where he hesitates to jump into the water; as he hesitates, the figure catches up with him and bites his right palm, leaving a crescent-moon shaped bite mark on it; he is left screaming and moaning in agony, initiating his excruciating transformation into a newborn vampire.
It is later explained that the attacker was Victoria, and she chose Riley because he was from Forks, making his knowledge of the area important to guide the newborn army, but she lied, by telling him she chose him because she loved him. Victoria is determined on destroying Bella in order to take revenge on Edward for killing her mate, James, in Twilight.
She plans to create an army of newborn vampires under the control of Riley, while keeping herself hidden so Alice can't see her. She also seduces Riley to win his loyalty and dedication.
Edward Cullen and Bella Swan are seen laying in their meadow, where Bella is reciting aloud the poem Fire and Ice (included in the novel), and negotiating her change into a vampire, with Edward asking her to marry him first. She endlessly turns him down, because of her issues with teen marriages, and that marriage was just 'a piece of paper'. Edward says that in his world, it was the way one says: "I love you." Bella says, that in her world, at her age, it is the way one says: "I just got knocked up."

Back in Forks, Edward and Bella discuss some of the complications and advantages of becoming an immortal vampire.

On one occasion, Alice has a vision of Victoria's return, so Edward takes Bella to Jacksonville to visit her mother and to assure her safety while the Cullens and the wolf pack chase Victoria.

Edward initially refuses, explaining that it would be too dangerous, although he tells her that he wants to, but not yet. Eventually, upon realizing how much it means to Bella, he says that he is willing to try in the future as long as they are married first. Despite an aversion to marriage, Bella realizes that spending an eternity with Edward is more important to her than anything else and accepts his proposal, in which he presents her with an engagement ring that belonged to his biological mother. Edward is overwhelmed with happiness and embraces her.
When everyone else is preparing for the battle, Edward and Bella camp up in the mountains, where they are later joined by Jacob to wait out the fight. Bella, being human, is about to freeze to death, in the frigid mountain blizzard. Jacob warms her up, much to Edward's disgust, as he asks Jacob to at least control his thoughts. During the cold night, Bella, while sleeping, overhears a conversation between the two of them,stating each others pains in which they temporarily forget their mutual hatred toward each other.
In the morning, Edward plans for Jacob to overhear him, and Bella discussing their engagement, and Jacob becomes distraught. He threatens to join the fight and get himself killed because he feels that Bella does not love him and that him being dead would be easier for her, stating that he won't be a distraction to bella. When Bella begs him not to, Jacob demands a proper reason not to do so. In a desperate attempt to prevent his death,bella states reason, in which Jacob responds to being not good enough. Finally she asks him to kiss her and, while doing so, realizes that she loves him as well when she kisses him back. However, she also realizes that her feelings for Jacob are not to be compared with her love for Edward. Edward finds out about the kiss by reading Jacob's mind, but he is not angry with Bella because he knows that she loves him more than Jacob. Jacob still goes and joins the fight, promising that he'll be back, but eventually gets injured while trying to protect Leah from a newborn.
The Cullens and the wolves fight the newborn army and manage to kill almost every last one with their own numbers still intact. Victoria and Riley manage to find Bella's hiding spot, starting a fight to the death. Seth bites off Riley's hand, before being swatted away by him. Victoria's survival instincts push her to leave, but Edward gets her to stay by taunting her about James. Riley and Victoria gain the upper hand and are about to kill Edward, when Bella distracts them by cutting her arm with a rock, using her blood to catch their attention. Edward uses the distraction to break free and Seth sneaks behind a hill, drags Riley away, and kills him.
Victoria ignores Riley's desperate cry for help, only to die at the hands of Edward. Four members of the Volturi arrive (Jane, Alec, Felix and Demetri) to destroy what is left of Victoria's army, only to kill the one newborn who surrendered: Bree Tanner (though her name is not mentioned). When Jane inflicts pain on her, the Cullens ask for mercy for Bree, but Jane nonetheless orders Felix to kill the newborn. They also, discover that while Bella has not become a vampire yet, the date for her transformation has been set.
When Bella visits the injured Jacob, she is welcomed by loud, agonizing screams coming from the house. As Billy and the rest of the wolf pack (other than Sam, who is inside with Carlisle and Jacob) waiting patiently, though looking worried outside. Carlisle comes out of the house and says that Jacob will make a full recovery. Billy and Carlisle then shake hands, showing that they can now start to trust one another. After the treatment, Bella walks in to tell an agonized Jacob that she still loves him but has chosen Edward over him. After he realizes he reluctantly agrees not to try and put them apart anymore.
Bella and Edward go to the meadow, where she tells him the wedding has been handed to the care of Alice. Edward asks why she is trying to please everyone else when she is not; Bella answers that she has always felt like she belonged in Edward's vampire world, by realizing that being in Edward's vampire world has made her strong, and realizing who she really is. Bella also decided to do things responsibly, by tying herself to him in every human way possible before she becomes a vampire. They decide to inform Charlie about their engagement, which Bella declares as highly dangerous, and jokes that it's a good thing Edward is bulletproof. Edward responds to this with a smile, and gives her his mother's ring. The movie ends with Bella and Edward embracing each other lovingly in their meadow.
The entire Cullen family cast had to vigorously train to keep themselves in shape and to make the fight scenes look realistic. Most of them did their own stunts/wire work.
During the scene where Bella returns to Emily and Sam's home, Bronson Pelletier (Jared) ate real chicken whilst the others chewed on bones. Pelletier become quite ill as they redid the scene numerous times and each time he had to eat a new piece of chicken.
In the scene where Taylor Lautner has to carry Kristen, they originally planned to use a rig where Kristen would be sitting in a mold of herself and Taylor would push it. The effect was robotic and unrealistic so Taylor Lautner, for many scenes, had to carry Kristen for many hours, giving him very sore arms the next day.
Between takes, Taylor Lautner often caught grapes in his mouth. He also played football with Kristen Stewart.
Director David Slade originally spoke against the Twilight series, stating that he would not go near the franchise. Shortly after he was announced as the director of Eclipse, he quickly withdrew his previous remarks, claiming it to be a joke he was doing to promote some comedy shorts.
In the stories that Billy Black tells at the bonfire, the Thrid Wife was originally going to be played by Kristen Stewart. She did perform the scene but Slade and author Stephenie Meyer thought it had an unintentional comical effect.
In New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn,Robert Pattinson's eyebrows are slightly bushier than in Twilight, having refused to get his eyebrows waxed again after undergoing the experience during the first film.
Kristen Stewart had to wear a wig in this film since she had her hair cut for another movie.
There was several mistakes in this film as revealed in the television show Great Movie Mistakes and several websites.
In the scene where Billy Black tells the tale of the Cold Ones, when the Cold Woman came the avenge the death of the Cold Man, the The Third Wife stabbed herself in the abdomen with a dagger to distract the Cold Woman, but there was no tear in the wife's dress; instead it was just a red patch, when there should have been a rip in it from the dagger.
Just after Victoria was killed, Edward bandaged Bella's cut with a piece of fabric; however, he tied the bandage around her wrist, when it was the inside of her elbow.
When Bella's scar from where James bit her in in the first movie was seen, it was on the wrong arm.
When Victoria was killed, her eyes were still open. But at another angle they were shut.
In the scene as the mountain campsite, Bella was wearing Brown Cargo pants. But when the camera pans out, she is wearing navy colored jean like pants.
When Bella is snuggled against Jacob for warmth in the tent scene, the green and white hat she wore constantly moves; in one part it was over her right eyebrow, in another it isn't.
When Jacob is carrying Bella up the mountain, her right sleeve keeps moving up and down her arm.
When Edward is by the left side of Bella's bed, someone appears to be moving on the right side of the bed.
