Plot

John Wick (2014) introduces audiences to the titular character, a retired hitman mourning the recent death of his wife. Before her passing, his wife leaves him a final gift—a puppy named Daisy to help him cope with his grief. However, his quiet life is shattered when the reckless son of a Russian mob boss, Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen), breaks into John’s home, kills Daisy, and steals his prized Mustang. This senseless act of violence pulls John back into the world he left behind. With his reputation as the most feared assassin in the underworld, John unleashes a relentless quest for vengeance. His path of retribution pits him against powerful Russian crime syndicates led by Viggo Tarasov (Michael Nyqvist). Known for its stylistic action, sleek world-building, and Keanu Reeves’ iconic performance, John Wick reinvigorated action cinema and became the foundation for one of the most successful modern action franchises
