Starring: Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Scott Adkins
“When the hunted become the hunters… vengeance strikes twice.”
Overview
Striking Rescue 2 delivers a ferocious, high-velocity sequel that builds on the bone-crushing energy of the first film. After the events of Part 1, elite Muay Thai warrior Bai An (Tony Jaa) lives in isolation, trying to bury the violence of his past. But peace never lasts.
When a ruthless international syndicate resurfaces—led by a shadowy assassin tied to Bai An’s history—his former ally Rama (Iko Uwais) seeks him out for one final mission: rescue a kidnapped intelligence officer whose disappearance threatens global security.
Adding to the tension is Scott Adkins as Kane Mercer, a hardened mercenary whose loyalties remain dangerously unpredictable. The three fighters collide in an explosive web of betrayal, honor, and survival.
The sequel takes the action across brutal terrains—rain-soaked forests, neon-lit markets, industrial rooftops, and underground fight pits—each set piece raising the intensity and brutality to new heights.
