Plot summary:
The opening sequence of the movie starts with a team of expendables. They are the group of people who used to conduct assassinations or rescues after they get paid. Actually, the members of expendables previously used to work either in the military or in some secret departments. One day they reach a ship where a villain along with his men had kidnapped a group of people. There comes the team of expendables and they kill all the terrorists and save the hostages. One of the members of expendables, named Gunnar catches one of the terrorists and tries to hang him to death. Other members tell Gunnar to not do that. Another member of Expendables tries stopping him but he starts hurting him too. Now there comes Barney who stops him from doing that and even takes him out of the team. After accomplishing that task, they come back to their place in New Orleans.
Now Barney goes to one of his friend’s places named Tool. His friend is a tattoo artist and also handles the phone calls and meetings of the expendables team. Now Tool tells Barney that a new work has come and for that, he has to go to the church to meet a man named Mr. Church. Mr. Church tells Barney that they have to go to Vilena island and kill the dictator of the island named General Garza. Mr. church convinces Barney to do so by saying that he will receive as much money as he wants.
The next scene shows Vilena island where General Garza was torturing the people. And there is seen General Monroe too who has come there to do an illegal deal of opium. Gunnar comes to Barney to say sorry and asks him to take him to the team once again since he too wants to do the assassination at Vilena. But Barney doesn’t accept that. Gunnar gives a terrifying look and goes from there. Now Barney and Jason Statham go to Vilena to know about the place and the situation by disguising themselves as wildlife photographers. They see that Garza is torturing the people of the locality so bad and their life has become hell.
In the next scene, there appears Sandra. Barney and Jason Statham get attracted to her beauty. Sandra takes them to show the island. James on the other hand tells General Garza to do the opium production fast. Barney, Sandra, and Jason are looking at them and the men of Garza see this and try taking them on arrest. But Jason and Barney fire at them and save themselves. Now Jason tries to start the plane while Barney fires at Garza’s men who are at the port. But Sandra refuses to go with them and hence Jason and Barney leave the place on the plane. They turn their plane toward the same island and start firing and bombing at the port and the port is destroyed.
Now Gunnar teams up with James and Garza. James asks Gunnar to kill Barney and Gunnar accepts that too. Barney comes to know that James is an ex-CIA officer. Mr. Church too is a CIA officer and since they can’t kill the ex-CIA officer so they gave this work in the hands of Barney and the team. Barney now says that he wants to drop that mission because there whole lot of risks and dirty politics in it.
On the other hand, it shows that Sandra is Garza’s daughter but James tortures her because he thinks she knows about Barney. Barney gets to know about this and he returns back to save Sandra. Yin Yang joins him too. But on the way, Gunnar attacks them, and Barney fights with Gunnar back. Now Gunnar is injured and realizes that he is doing wrong and hence he tells Barney everything about James. The whole team of expendables now goes to Vilena to help Barney defeat James and Garza and save Sandra. They fit the bomb in the whole building whereas Barney goes to save his heroine Sandra. But they get caught by one of the men. Now the whole expendables team comes there to save Barney. But that man takes Sandra. Now Garza comes and addresses the people of the whole of Vilena that he did wrong by supporting James. James comes there and shoots at Garza.
Now James tells his men to fire at the building. But Barney operates the bombs and hence the whole building gets blasted. Meanwhile, James takes Sandra from there and runs. But Barney comes across them and kills James with Jason’s help. He saves Sandra and the team goes back to New Orleans. Gunnar gets well from his injury. He asks pardon Barney and Barney accepts that and the movie comes to a happy ending.
