When Barney Ross and his legendary mercenary crew encounter Conrad Stonebanks โ the Expendables' original co-founder, presumed dead โ during a routine Somalia arms interdiction, everything changes. Stonebanks isn't just another target. He built this team. He knows every move, every tactic, every weakness.
After Stonebanks critically wounds team member Hale Caesar, a guilt-ridden Barney makes a brutal call: disband the veterans to protect them. He assembles a younger, more expendable squad โ Force Recon Marine John Smilee, martial arts nightclub bouncer Luna, elite hacker Thorn, and DARPA weapons expert Mars.
The new team is captured in Bucharest. The veterans refuse to stand down. And in the rubble of a collapsing building in the fictional state of Azmenistan, both generations of warriors must unite under one brutal truth: nobody gets left behind.
