G.I. Joe: Retaliation

The US military receives critical intelligence indicating that the President of Pakistan has been assassinated. This event raises urgent concerns that nuclear weapons might fall into the hands of terrorists, prompting immediate action from military leaders.

Following the assassination, the Joes are dispatched to Pakistan with the critical mission of securing nuclear warheads. They operate under the orders of Zartan, who is posing as the President of the United States.

The Joes successfully secure the nuclear armaments amidst rising tensions and fears of terrorist takeover. Their operation appears to be going well, ensuring that the dangerous weapons are in safe hands.

While waiting for extraction at a forward base, the entire team is suddenly obliterated by a military strike. Only three members, Roadblock, Flint, and Lady Jaye, survive the attack, resulting in chaos and confusion.

Upon their return to the United States, the surviving Joes are accused by the President of the United States of assassinating the Pakistani President. This shocking claim brands them as traitors and puts their lives at further risk.

In a parallel storyline, Storm Shadow and Firefly launch a daring rescue mission to free Cobra Commander from a maximum-security prison in Germany. Their actions set in motion a series of events that escalate the conflict.

After sustaining injuries during the rescue, Storm Shadow retreats to a remote Himalayan temple for recuperation. This moment of solitude brings about significant internal conflict as he grapples with his past actions.

In an effort to apprehend Storm Shadow for his uncle's murder, the Blind Master sends Snake Eyes and his apprentice Jinx to track him down. Jinx is determined to find her inner strength as she embarks on this dangerous mission.

Lady Jaye grows suspicious when Zartan reveals that Cobra will replace the Joes as the national defense force. By examining old footage, she uncovers subtle changes in the President's demeanor, indicating he is not who he claims to be.

The Joes, now backed by General Joseph Colton, infiltrate a high-profile fundraiser where the fake POTUS is scheduled to appear. Lady Jaye's cunning reveals the true identity of Zartan, confirming their worst fears.

In the mountains, Snake Eyes and Jinx successfully capture Storm Shadow, bringing him to Tokyo for interrogation. During this pivotal moment, Storm Shadow pleads his innocence concerning his uncle's death and reveals the true villain behind the betrayal.

As Zartan orchestrates a summit with world leaders, he coerces them into disarming their nuclear arsenals under threat of destruction. In a catastrophic demonstration, he launches US warheads, forcing compliance and instilling fear across the globe.

In a shocking turn of events, Storm Shadow betrays Cobra Commander by eliminating Zartan during the chaos. This act reveals Zartan's true ambitions and allies Storm Shadow with the Joes in their battle against Cobra.

The stage is set for a climactic confrontation as Roadblock faces off against Firefly. In a fierce battle, Roadblock ultimately triumphs, dismantling Cobra's orbital weapons and saving the lives of countless innocents.

In the aftermath of the conflict, the real President addresses the nation, praising the Joes for their bravery and sacrifice. In a moment of honor, Roadblock is presented with a treasured weapon as a tribute to his fallen comrades.
