"John Wick" is an action-thriller film franchise created by Derek Kolstad and directed by Chad Stahelski. The series revolves around the character of John Wick, a former hitman who seeks vengeance against those who wronged him. Here's a brief overview of the movies released up until my knowledge cutoff in September 2021:
John Wick (2014): The first film introduces us to John Wick (played by Keanu Reeves), a retired hitman mourning the recent death of his wife. When a group of Russian gangsters break into his house, steal his car, and kill his dog, which was a gift from his late wife, they unknowingly awaken the deadly assassin within him. John embarks on a relentless mission to exact revenge on the people responsible, including Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen), the son of a powerful Russian mobster.
John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017): The second film picks up shortly after the events of the first. John is reluctantly pulled back into the world of assassins when Santino D'Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio), an Italian crime lord, invokes a blood oath that John had made in the past. As he fulfills this obligation, John becomes a target for bounty hunters and finds himself caught in a web of violence and betrayal.
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019): The third installment continues directly after the events of the second film. After breaking the rules of the assassin underworld by killing on the grounds of the Continental Hotel, John Wick is declared "excommunicado" and a $14 million bounty is placed on his head. With every assassin in New York City out to claim the reward, John fights his way through numerous adversaries to stay alive while seeking assistance from old allies and acquaintances.
