The
Expendables
|
 The
Expendables is a hard-hitting action/thriller about a group of mercenaries
hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless
dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things arent quite
as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit
and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in
danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge one that threatens
to destroy this band of brothers.
Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) is a man with nothing to lose.
Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the
strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe.
His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his
team of loyal modern-day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes
what he does as removing those hard to get at stains.
The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas (Jason Statham),
former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang
(Jet Li), a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar (Terry Crews),
who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons
specialist; Toll Road (Randy Couture), a skilled demolitions expert
and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen (Dolph
Lundgren), a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who
struggles with his own demons.
When the mysterious Church offers Barney a job no one else would
take, Barney and his team embark on what appears to be a routine
mission: overthrow General Gaza (David Zayas), the murderous dictator
of the small island country of Vilena and end the years of death
and destruction inflicted on its people. On a reconnaissance mission
to Vilena, Barney and Christmas meet their contact Sandra (Giselle
Itie), a local freedom-fighter with a dark secret. They also come
to learn who their true enemy is: rogue ex-CIA operative James Monroe
(Eric Roberts) and his henchman Paine (Steve Austin).
When things go terribly wrong, Barney and Christmas are forced
to leave Sandra behind, essentially giving her a death sentence.
Haunted by this failure, Barney convinces the team to return to
Vilena to rescue the hostage and finish the job he started. And
to perhaps save a soul: his own
