Hardcore Henry

Henry awakens in a high-flying airship laboratory, his mind a fog of confusion and fragmented memories. He slowly realizes he is in the presence of Estelle, a scientist who introduces herself as his wife.

As Henry comes to terms with his identity, he discovers that an accident has rendered him mute and limbless. Estelle begins the process of restoring his physical abilities using advanced cybernetic prosthetics.

The tranquility of the laboratory is shattered as a ruthless group of mercenaries, led by Akan, invades the airship. Their goal is to seize Estelle's research, leading to chaos as her fellow scientists are attacked.

Estelle and Henry narrowly escape the mercenaries, launching themselves in an escape pod. However, their escape is cut short as the pod crash-lands in the crowded streets of Moscow, putting them in immediate danger.

Separated in the aftermath of the crash, Estelle is captured by Akan's mercenaries, leaving Henry to navigate the chaos alone. He must find a way to survive and understand the new world around him.

In the midst of the bustling Moscow streets, Henry encounters Jimmy, a mysterious figure who warns him that his cybernetic limbs are losing power. This revelation heightens the urgency of Henry's mission to reconnect with Estelle.

Henry navigates through Moscow's underworld and encounters a series of characters known as Jannies. Each one presents Henry with unique challenges and crucial information about his quest and Akan's mercenaries.

Henry learns of Jimmy’s plan for revenge against Akan as he is led to an abandoned hotel and a hidden laboratory. Here, Jimmy reveals that he has created clones of himself to carry out his ambitions, all while maintaining control through a headset.

As Henry and Jimmy make their way toward Akan’s lair, their position becomes compromised. They face a formidable army of mercenaries, culminating in Jimmy sacrificing himself to provide Henry with critical information.

With the help of a memory blocker left by Jimmy, Henry begins to regain fragments of his past. Armed with this newfound awareness, he prepares for an epic confrontation with Akan and his super-soldiers.

In a surreal battle, Henry faces Akan with the army of cyborgs programmed with his own memories. The fight escalates dramatically, leaving Henry with severe injuries but a burning desire for vengeance.

In a shocking turn of events, Estelle is revealed to be Akan's wife, orchestrating a sinister plan exploiting cyborg soldiers for nefarious purposes. This revelation forces Henry to question everything he believed about his own life.

As Estelle attempts to escape in a helicopter, she shoots at Henry, who is left bleeding and vulnerable. In a final act of desperation, Henry fights back and finds a way to outsmart Estelle, sending her to her downfall.

Before succumbing to his wounds, Henry has a profound flashback of his father that ignites a new spirit within him. This memory inspires him to confront Akan one last time and seize control of the helicopter.

In a haunting post-credits sequence, a recording from Jimmy surfaces, indicating that Henry will face yet another mission. This leaves audiences with the lingering mystery of the new challenges that await this resilient hero.
