Overview
About the Film
The Expendables is a 2010 American action film directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, assembling the most impressive collection of action stars ever gathered in a single film. Stallone leads a team of elite mercenaries — including Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Terry Crews — who are hired to overthrow a dictator on a small South American island. The mission becomes personal when they discover the true power behind the regime is a rogue CIA operative played by Eric Roberts, and Stallone's Barney Ross must decide whether the payday is worth the risk.
The Expendables was conceived as a celebration of the practical-stunts, no-CGI action filmmaking tradition, and the novelty of seeing Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis share screen time — even briefly, in a church meeting scene — was a cinematic event for action fans. The film earned $274 million worldwide on a $80 million budget and spawned a franchise that continued adding action legends in subsequent entries.
