The most iconic action franchise of the modern era returns in 2025 with Expendables 5: Back for War, a globe-trotting, high-octane spectacle that reunites the deadliest mercenaries in cinema history. From covert black-ops missions to full-scale battlefield chaos, the film promises the biggest and boldest chapter yet — a swan song worthy of the heroes who defined action for generations.
The Story
A shadowy paramilitary force, armed with cutting-edge weapons and unlimited resources, emerges from the ashes of failed regimes. Their goal is nothing less than global destabilization — plunging nations into chaos and dragging the world into a new era of war. When governments fail to respond, there’s only one team ruthless, reckless, and relentless enough to stand in their way: The Expendables.
For Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), this mission isn’t just another job. It’s personal. With old comrades at his side and new legends joining the fight, Barney must lead a team of living weapons into the deadliest conflict of their lives. From blood-soaked jungles to burning cities, from stealth infiltrations to all-out warzones, every step forward is a step closer to annihilation — unless the team can pull off the impossible one last time.
