Barney Ross (Stallone) passes the torch in The Expendables 5, with Lee Christmas (Jason Statham) stepping fully into leadership of the mercenary team. The mission: stop a rogue general who has hijacked nuclear weapons, threatening global chaos.
The team reunites—old veterans mixing with younger recruits, including Megan Fox as a sharpshooter with a troubled past. Explosive set pieces stretch from jungle ambushes to urban warfare, culminating in a high-seas battle aboard a hijacked aircraft carrier.
The tone balances nostalgia with fresh energy. Stallone’s Ross serves as mentor, while Statham carries the grit and charisma of leadership. Dolph Lundgren provides comic relief, while Fox adds emotional weight, proving she’s more than eye candy.
The climax unleashes chaos: helicopters crash into exploding warships, fists clash in brutal duels, and the Expendables face overwhelming odds. Yet the real heart lies in loyalty—the bond that makes these warriors more than hired guns.
It’s over-the-top, explosive, and unapologetically loud—the ultimate sendoff for action’s greatest ensemble.
