G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013), directed by Jon M. Chu, is the sequel to the 2009 film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. This action-packed film features a cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, and Adrianne Palicki. The movie continues the story of the elite military team known as G.I. Joe, who face new threats and challenges.

The film begins with the G.I. Joe team, now established as a covert military organization, undertaking a high-stakes mission to retrieve stolen nuclear warheads. However, during this mission, they are betrayed by a mole within the organization, leading to the deaths of many team members and the capture of their leader, Duke (Channing Tatum).

After the betrayal, the surviving Joes—Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki), and Flint (DJ Cotrona)—set out to uncover the truth behind the attack and the identity of the mole. They learn that the Zartan (Arnold Vosloo), a master of disguise and a former enemy, has taken over the White House and is posing as President Zartan. This sets off a chain of events where the G.I. Joe team must not only clear their names but also stop a global catastrophe.

The plot thickens as the Joes discover that their enemies, including Cobra Commander (Luke Bracey) and the Cobra organization, are plotting to use advanced technology to unleash chaos worldwide. In response, the Joes seek help from the original G.I. Joe, General Joseph Colton (Bruce Willis), who aids them in their quest to stop Cobra’s sinister plans.

As the action unfolds, the film features intense combat scenes, elaborate fight choreography, and impressive set pieces, including a high-altitude raid and a spectacular sequence involving ninjas on mountains. The introduction of Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Jinx (Elodie Yung) adds to the film’s action and depth, showcasing the skills of these fan-favorite characters.
