In the enigmatic underworld of New York City, a legendary hitman, John Wick (Keanu Reeves), emerges from retirement after the tragic loss of his beloved wife, Helen. As he mourns her absence, he finds solace in the companionship of Daisy, a puppy gifted by Helen as a final token of their love.
One fateful night, when a group of ruthless Russian mobsters led by the sadistic Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen) break into John's home, they brutally kill Daisy and steal his vintage Mustang. Enraged by the heinous act, John's dormant thirst for vengeance is awakened.
Driven by an indomitable spirit, John seeks retribution. His pursuit leads him to the Continental Hotel, a secretive sanctuary for assassins, where he enlists the aid of Charon (Lance Reddick), the hotel's concierge. Charon warns John that Tarasov enjoys the protection of his powerful father, Viggo Tarasov (Michael Nyqvist).
Undeterred, John embarks on a relentless hunt, navigating the labyrinthine streets of New York City and facing off against a formidable army of assassins, including the enigmatic Ms. Perkins (Adrianne Palicki). Along the way, he encounters allies, such as the enigmatic Aurelio (John Leguizamo), a nightclub owner, and Sofia (Ruby Rose), a skilled bounty hunter.
As the body count rises, John's reputation as the "Baba Yaga" – a mythical boogeyman in Russian folklore – precedes him. He confronts Iosef in a brutal showdown, but the young mobster's arrogance proves to be his downfall. John executes Iosef, sending a clear message to Viggo that his son's actions have crossed an unforgivable line.
Determined to eliminate John and protect his family's interests, Viggo unleashes his most formidable asset – Marcus (Willem Dafoe), a retired assassin and John's former mentor. Marcus reluctantly agrees to track down his estranged protégé, setting the stage for a titanic clash of titans.
In a breathtaking climax, John and Marcus engage in a duel for the ages, their skills honed by years of experience. Despite Marcus's formidable abilities, John's unwavering resolve and unwavering determination prove too much to overcome. John emerges victorious, leaving Marcus mortally wounded.
With Viggo's empire crumbling and his son avenged, John returns to the Continental Hotel, seeking solace in the aftermath of his bloody ordeal. As he walks away, Charon reminds him that his actions have attracted the attention of the Adjudicators, a shadowy group that enforces the rules of the underworld.
As the film concludes, John is left alone with his grief and the knowledge that his life will never be the same. The door to retirement remains open, but the path to redemption seems distant and uncertain.
