''[[The Omen]]'' is the original film in the series, directed by [[Richard Donner]] and written by [[David Seltzer]]. The story introduces Robert Thorn, the American Ambassador in Italy who adopts the newborn [[Damien Thorn|Damien]] to replace the newborn that he has been told was stillborn. When Damien reaches the age of five as Robert is transferred to Britain, strange events unfold, beginning with the boy's nanny committing suicide during his birthday party. Soon afterward Robert encounters Father Brennan, a Catholic priest who was present at Damien's birth, who attempts to warn him that the child would eventually kill him and his wife; Brennan soon dies, impaled by a falling church spire. Only after Robert's wife Katherine ends up hospitalized with a miscarriage does he come to believe Brennan; Robert and a photographer named Jennings then travel to Rome, where they learn that Damien is the [[Antichrist]], and that the death of Robert's child was arranged so the Antichrist child could be raised by a politician. In the meantime, Katherine Thorn is murdered by Mrs. Baylock, Damien's second nanny, who in reality is a member of the Satanists who arranged Damien's upbringing, and will kill in order to suppress any threat to him. Arriving in [[Tel Megiddo|Megiddo]] to find Bugenhagen, an exorcist and archaeologist, Robert is presented with the only means to kill Damien: the Seven Daggers of Megiddo. Though he initially refuses, it takes both the death of Jennings and discovering the [[Number of the beast|Mark of the Beast]] on Damien's head to convince Robert to go through with it. Despite killing Mrs. Baylock after a struggle, Robert is killed by the authorities before he can kill Damien. The final scene is the Ambassador Thorn's funeral, where the President of the USA holds little Damien's hand, who turns back and smiles joyfully with sad eyes.

The second film, ''[[Damien – Omen II]]'', starts with Bugenhagen attempting to send Richard Thorne, Damien's uncle and new guardian, a package, but he and his friend Morris end up being buried alive in Megiddo.<ref>{{cite AV media |people=Donner, Richard (Director) |year=1976 |title=The Omen |medium=DVD |publisher=Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment |location=Beverly Hills, CA |oclc=70171384}}</ref> The audience is then introduced to Richard's son Mark and his second wife Ann. Now a teenager, Damien attends [[military school]] alongside Mark, while his subconscious, manifesting in the form of a raven, kills Richard's aunt Marion, Jennings's friend Joan Hart, and Thorn Industries manager Bill Atherton. Atherton's death is beneficial for senior manager Paul Buher, another member of the Satanist group Baylock was part of. Another member, Sgt. Neff, guides Damien to learn his true nature by advising him to read the [[Book of Revelation]]. Though fearful of it at first, unconsciously killing Dr. David Pasarian and a medical physician who tested his blood, Damien comes to accept his fate as he begins to consciously kill anyone who stands in his way, including his cousin Mark and Dr. Charles Warren. Though Richard accepted the truth upon receiving the Daggers of Megiddo from Bugenhagen's package, he is murdered by Ann; Damien then kills her, despite her being one of his disciples.<ref>{{cite AV media |people=Taylor, Don and Hodges, Mike (Directors) |year=1978 |title=Damien – Omen II |medium=DVD |publisher=Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment |location=Beverly Hills, CA |oclc=45111331}}</ref>

The third film, ''[[The Final Conflict (film)|The Final Conflict]]'', follows the adult Damien, now head of his uncle's company and arranging his position as American Ambassador in Britain to prevent the [[Second Coming]]—which would gradually weaken his powers—by having his followers slaughter every male British child born on March 24. Though he managed to kill six of the seven monks who each brandish a Dagger of Megiddo, their leader Father DeCarlo lives. Damien unknowingly causes his own downfall by his association with a journalist named Kate Reynolds who kills him at his moment of weakness. As Damien's death did not occur in the manner that Bugenhagen learned, the Antichrist only suffered a temporary demise.<ref>{{cite AV media |people=Baker, Graham (Director) |year=1981 |title=The Final Conflict |medium=DVD |publisher=Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment |location=Beverly Hills, CA |oclc=45273673}}</ref>

In the fourth film of the original series, ''[[Omen IV: The Awakening]]'', it is revealed that Damien's followers arranged for his biological daughter Delia to be adopted by two attorneys, Gene and Karen York. While nothing seems wrong at first, compared to her father, Delia is fully aware of her powers as she terrorizes her mother Karen. Karen finds herself pregnant and hires a private detective to find out about Delia's lineage. Along the way, she believes Delia is the Antichrist. A string of bizarre accidental deaths follows, before Karen gives birth to her son Alexander while falling into a paranoia as she tries to reveal her daughter's true identity. With the help of the private detective, Karen learns that Delia is the daughter of Damien Thorn while holding her family doctor, Dr. Hastings, at gunpoint. Upon learning Dr. Hastings is a Satanist, Karen learns that the reborn Antichrist is actually Alexander: Delia's twin brother whose embryo was inside Delia the entire time and implanted into Karen by Hastings. Though Karen adamantly wished to kill Alexander and tries to do so, the baby's powers cause her to commit suicide, leaving Alexander and Delia still alive to continue their birth father's work.<ref>{{cite AV media |people=Montesi, Jorge and Othenin-Girard, Dominique (Directors) |year=1991 |title=Omen IV: The Awakening |medium=DVD |publisher=Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment |location=Beverly Hills, CA |oclc=76878002}}</ref>

The 2006 remake of the first film, also titled ''[[The Omen (2006 film)|The Omen]]'', was directed and produced by [[John Moore (director)|John Moore]]. Starring [[Liev Schreiber]] and [[Julia Stiles]], the film was met with mixed reviews but general box office success. With a budget of $25 million, the film grossed $54 million domestic and $64 million in other territories, totalling $119 million.

The film stars [[Nell Tiger Free]] as an American woman who is sent to work at a church in [[Rome]] but quickly uncovers a conspiracy to bring about the birth of the [[Antichrist]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Grobar |first=Matt |date=2024-01-03 |title='The First Omen' Trailer: Nell Tiger Free Encounters Evil In Rome In 20th Century Studios Prequel |url=https://deadline.com/video/the-first-omen-trailer-nell-tiger-free/ |access-date=2024-03-28 |website=Deadline |language=en-US}}</ref> The film was met with positive reviews from critics and has grossed over $53 million internationally.
