Having lost their parents in a car accident, former surfer Chris Emerson (Tad Hilgenbrink) and his sister Nicole (Autumn Reeser) move to Luna Bay, California. Their first night there, Chris is invited to a surf party by former surfer Shane Powers (Angus Sutherland). Unbeknownst to Chris, Shane is now the head vampire of a nest of vampires, and Shane takes a liking to Nicole. When Nicole unknowingly drinks some of Shane's blood and turns into a "half vampire", Chris enlists the help of vampire hunter Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman) in order to infiltrate the nest and save his sister.
Lost Boys: The Tribe is filmed from a script by Hans Rodionoff and based on the characters created by Janice Fisher and James Jeremias for The Lost Boys (1987) (1987). It is followed by Lost Boys: The Thirst (2010) (2010).
The only character from The Lost Boys who returns in The Tribe is Edgar Frog. Scenes with Edgar's brother Alan () were apparently filmed but did not survive the cuts. Sam Emerson (Corey Haim) appears with Edgar in a short scene after the ending credits start to roll. The new "lost boy", Shane Powers, is played by Angus Sutherland, half brother of Kiefer Sutherland who played David in the first movie.
Chris and Edgar set out to rescue Nicole and kill Shane. While Chris drives to the nest, Edgar introduces him to his vampire hunting arsenal—wooden stakes, metal stakes, resin stakes (light and easy to handle), an air-propelled rocket grenade launcher for holy water balloons, and a garlic bola. While Chris and Edgar search the subterranean bowels of the nest, first impaling Erik (Merwin Mondesir) with a boring drill and then blasting off Kyle (Shaun Sipos)'s head with the holy water balloon launcher, Nicole is being led by Shane to a coffin where a victim is being held for her first kill. Shane opens the coffin, and Nicole sees Evan lying there. She tells Shane that she can't do it. Chris makes it to the vampires' great room where he is joined by Shane. Chris leaps at Shane, and the two of them have at each other. Nicole walks in and tells Shane not to hurt her brother. When Shane doesn't stop, Nicole runs a stake through his chest. Shane tries to pull Nicole onto stake with him, but Chris decapitates Shane first. As Shane's body bursts into flames, Edgar arrives. "Build a man a fire and he's warm for the day," Edgar says, "but start a fire in a man and he's warm for the rest of his life." He then tells the Emersons that they'll be getting a bill for his services. Edgar and Evan leave together. Chris and Nicole, now cured of their vampirism, go home where they are confronted by their Aunt Jillian who accuses them of using drugs. In a final scene after the credits start to roll, Edgar meets up with Sam Emerson (Corey Haim), who is now a vampire. Sam says that he's come for Edgar, and Edgar says that he won't show him any mercy. The two then charge each other, and the credits resume.
The direct-to-video sequel of the 1987 cult classic has been released as two different versions: an R-rated cut and an unrated cut are available on DVD. The latter features more scenes of bloody violence and nudity and runs approx. 2 minutes longer than the R-rated version.
