The Expendables are a group of elite mercenaries who carry out all sorts of missions, ranging from assassination to rescue. The action thriller films are based on characters created by David Callaham and star an ensemble cast, most notably Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Statham. The film series was created to pay homage to the blockbuster action films of the 1980s and 1990s and also pays tribute to the action stars of those decades.
A CIA's mercenary team is ordered to assassinate the dictator of a South American island without knowing that their mission is viciously planned by a vindictive CIA officer, James Monroe.
The team reunites for a seamless mission but when a comrade is murdered on the job, payback becomes top priority even in the face of dangerous threats.
With new blood on the crew, the Expendables square off against villainous arms trader Conrad Stonebanks, who's hell-bent on destroying the team.
