Plot
Meanwhile, Storm Shadow (Byung-hun
Lee) and ex-Joe Firefly (Ray Stevenson) rescue Cobra Commander (Luke Bracey)
from a penitentiary in Germany. Storm Shadow is injured during the escape, and
retreats to a temple in the Himalayas to recover. Upon learning that he is
alive, the Blind Master (RZA), leader of the Arashikage Clan, sends Snake Eyes
(Ray Park) and his apprentice Jinx (Elodie Yung), Storm Shadow's cousin, to
capture Storm Shadow so he can answer for the murder of his uncle, the Hard
Master.
Roadblock, Flint, and Lady Jaye
return to the United States where they set up a base of operations in a rundown
gym. After Zartan announces that Cobra will replace the Joes as America's main
protective unit, Lady Jaye deduces that someone is impersonating the President,
and Roadblock leads them to General Joseph Colton (Bruce Willis), who provides
them with weapons and helps them infiltrate a fundraising event that the
President will be attending. Lady Jaye steals a sample of the President's DNA
and confirms that he is Zartan. They escape after a brief confrontation with
Firefly and Zandar (Matt Gerald), the head of the Presidential Detail and a
member of Cobra.
Snake Eyes and Jinx locate and
capture Storm Shadow after a battle with ninjas and take him back to Japan,
where Storm Shadow reveals that Zartan murdered the Hard Master and he joined
Cobra to avenge his uncle. Storm Shadow then accompanies Snake Eyes and Jinx as
they join the Joes' efforts to stop Cobra.
Zartan invites the world leaders to
a summit, where he blackmails them into disabling their nuclear arsenals, and
reveals that he has created Project Zeus: seven orbital kinetic bombardment
weapons of mass destruction at his command. He destroys London to prove his
superiority, and threatens to destroy other capitals if the countries don't
submit to Cobra. However, Storm Shadow betrays Cobra Commander and kills
Zartan, revealing Cobra's deception to the world leaders. While Snake Eyes,
Jinx, and Flint fight Cobra's soldiers, Cobra Commander activates the remaining
six weapons and instructs Firefly to protect the launch device. Firefly is
killed in combat with Roadblock, who deactivates and destroys the orbital
weapons. Meanwhile, Colton and Lady Jaye rescue the President.
Cobra Commander escapes during the
battle and Storm Shadow disappears after avenging his uncle. The real President
addresses the nation at a ceremony where Roadblock, Jaye, Flint, Jinx, and
Snake Eyes are commemorated as heroes. Colton thanks each of them, and presents
Roadblock with the gun of General Patton, for when he finally finds Cobra
Commander. Roadblock proudly raises the gun in the air and lets out one shot.
