Bad Boys 5 (2025)

Will Smith | Martin Lawrence | Vanessa Hudgens | John Cena

Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) return for another high-octane adventure, racing through the neon-lit streets of Miami. Now older, a little slower, and burdened with family responsibilities, they face their most dangerous case yet: a bloody gang war that has swept through the city, led by a ruthless boss (John Cena).

The story opens with Marcus considering retirement after nearly losing his life in a shootout, while Mike can’t seem to shake off the thrill of the chase. But when the gang targets their own families, the two “Bad Boys” are forced back into the fray, this time teaming up with a young task force led by Vanessa Hudgens. The clash of generations creates humor, tension, and a grudging respect.

The investigation takes them from Miami Beach to underground meth labs in Mexico. Each clue reveals a deeper conspiracy: corrupt officials, rogue agents, and a plan to spread a deadly drug across America. Along the way, Mike struggles with his reckless nature, and Marcus unexpectedly becomes the only voice of reason.

The film culminates in an all-out assault on the cartel headquarters, where Mike and Marcus go head-to-head with Cena’s villain in a showdown that’s a mix of punches, bullets, and Bad Boys banter. Sacrifice hangs in the balance, but as always, loyalty wins out.
The film ends with Marcus coming to terms with the fact that retirement may come, but the brotherhood between him and Mike will never be broken. Loud, chaotic, but unbreakable — that’s the heart of the Bad Boys franchise.
