Story Overview

What begins as a seemingly routine classic car theft quickly spirals into chaos when it involves the son of a powerful Russian mob boss. John Wick is a retired hitman who has left his violent past behind, trying to rebuild his life after the devastating loss of his wife to a terminal illness. Her final gift to him — a dog meant to help him cope with grief — becomes his last emotional anchor.

That fragile peace is shattered when three gangsters break into his home and kill the dog. One of them is Josef Tarasov, the reckless son of crime lord Viggo Tarasov, and a man who once knew John’s true reputation. With nothing left to lose, John Wick is pulled back into the underworld he tried to escape.

Driven purely by vengeance, Wick unleashes his lethal skills, turning the streets of New York into the stage for a relentless and breathless hunt, as former allies and ruthless enemies collide in a brutal race where survival is no longer guaranteed.
