Commando

Two sanitation workers, armed with minuscule Uzi machine guns, carry out a brutal execution of a suburban man. This shocking act sets a dark tone for the events that follow, hinting at a larger conspiracy targeting ex-military personnel.

In a display of ruthlessness, a menacing figure named Cooke steals a vehicle from a dealership. He escalates his violence by brutally crushing the dealer beneath the vehicle, establishing himself as a grave threat to those involved with the commando squad.

A tugboat explodes in the harbor, marking the onset of chaos and violence linked to the ex-commandos. This unexpected explosion signals the beginning of a coordinated attack against John Matrix and his former comrades.

John Matrix, a formidable ex-Colonel, enjoys a peaceful retirement in the mountains of upstate California. Living with his daughter Jenny, he reflects on a life filled with past exploits and the consequences that now threaten his family.

Matrix's tranquility is disrupted when General Franklin Kirby visits to inform him of the grisly murders of his old comrades, revealing a secret mole within their ranks. This visit ignites a sense of urgency and danger for Matrix and his remaining allies.

Just after Kirby leaves, gunfire erupts around Matrix's house, resulting in the death of the soldiers protecting him. In the chaos, Jenny hides while Matrix rushes to his underground bunker, preparing to defend himself and protect his daughter.

Prompted by the danger to his daughter, Matrix grabs his rifle and confronts an armed assailant who poses an ultimatum regarding Jenny's safety. The encounter escalates into violence as Matrix eliminates the threat but finds himself in a precarious position.

With his vehicle sabotaged, Matrix makes a determined descent down the mountain in a damaged truck. He intercepts a car and engages in a fierce battle with henchmen, ultimately facing off against Bennett, who was believed to be dead.

Bennett reveals himself as the orchestrator of the murders, fueled by revenge against Matrix and his team. He informs Matrix of his new alliance with Arias, a dictator that Matrix had previously overthrown, complicating the stakes for everyone involved.

Arias demands Matrix's return to Val Verde, threatening Jenny's life if he refuses to comply. Matrix is left with no choice but to accept the dire situation, as time runs out for his daughter's safety.

Upon boarding a plane to Val Verde, Matrix realizes that his compliance will not guarantee Jenny's safety. Grabbing a crucial opportunity, he overpowers his guard, Henriques, and jumps from the aircraft, determined to save his daughter.

With a limited timeframe to rescue Jenny, Matrix tracks down Sully, one of Arias's associates, at the airport. Together with the help of Cindy, they concoct a plan to gather intelligence about Jenny's whereabouts by seducing Sully.

The plan spirals out of control when Sully realizes Matrix is on to him, culminating in a thrilling chase. Matrix ultimately battles Sully, resulting in a tragic fall, leaving Matrix with critical information about Jenny's location.

Matrix and Cindy successfully leverage the intel gained from Sully to locate Arias's warehouse. Inside, they find important resources tied to Arias's operations, furthering their quest to rescue Jenny.

In a climactic confrontation, Matrix battles Bennett in a tense face-off within the villa where Jenny is held captive. Ultimately triumphant, Matrix kills Bennett, stabilizing the situation as military forces arrive, yet he chooses to prioritize his family over rejoining the military.
