Although Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham), a former elite assassin who specialized in making deaths look like accidents, has retired and is living a quiet life, his old enemy Crain (Sam Hazeldine) tries to force him to come out of retirement. Bishop goes to join his old friend Mei (Michelle Yeoh) on a tropical beach in an effort to lay low.

When a young woman named Gina (Jessica Alba) shows up, Bishop falls in love with her, even after he finds out she's being targeted by Crain in order to manipulate Bishop. When Crain recaptures Gina, he forces Bishop to agree to assassinate three deadly and brutal arms dealers in exchange for Gina's life.

Mechanic: Resurrection is the sequel to the 2011 movie The Mechanic.
