Plot Synopsis: Set in a world where drug cartels have become increasingly violent and influential, Sicario: Soldado follows CIA operative Matt Graver (played by Josh Brolin) and the mercurial hitman Alejandro Gillick (Benicio del Toro) as they are drawn into a new mission.

The plot thickens when the U.S. government decides to target the cartels by kidnapping the daughter of a powerful drug lord. The mission is shrouded in moral ambiguity, showcasing the lengths to which the characters will go to achieve their objectives. As the lines between right and wrong blur, Graver and Alejandro find themselves facing unforeseen consequences and challenges that test their loyalty and humanity.
