Sadducees were one of the groups that existed among the Jews around the time Jesus was active.

It is presumed that their core members were descendants of Zadok, the high priest during the time of King David. Most of them were high priests and their relatives, as well as conservative and secularized vested interests in Jewish society. It is said that they did not believe in resurrection or angels, and were only interested in worldly success and advancement.

Another group that rivaled them in leading the Jews were the Pharisees. They were fundamentalist forces who strictly adhered to the law, cooperating in maintaining "vested interests" but having severe conflicts in their daily lives and faith.

Acts 23:6But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the Council, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”Acts 23:7And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.Acts 23:8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.Acts 23:9Then a great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended, “We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

One peculiar point is that while the Bible records Pharisees who became Christians,

Acts 15:5But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.”

Philippians 3:5circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

there is no record of Sadducees who became Christians.

The Sadducees disappeared after the war between A.D. 66-70.
