Plot Summary:
After saving presidents, cities, and nations, Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) has retired from frontline duty. Living quietly with his family in Virginia, he tries to heal from years of violence. But peace doesn’t last.

When a coordinated blackout plunges Europe into darkness, a secret network of mercenaries known as The Black Dawn seizes the chaos, targeting world leaders during a summit in Berlin. With global communications crippled and governments paralyzed, Banning is called back into action—this time not just to protect the U.S. President, but to stop an international coup that could reshape the balance of power.

Teaming up with allies from MI6 and Interpol, Banning faces his most personal enemy yet—a rogue former special forces operative who once saved his life, and now seeks to burn the world from the shadows.
