Suicide Squad is a 2016 American superhero film[4] based on the DC Comics antihero team of the same name. It's the third installment in the DC Extended Universe. The film is written and directed by David Ayer and stars an ensemble cast featuring Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood and Cara Delevingne. In Suicide Squad, a secret government agency led by Amanda Waller recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops
missions and save the world from a powerful threat, in exchange for
leaner sentences. By February 2009, a Suicide Squad film was in
development at Warner Bros. Pictures. Ayer signed on to write and direct in September 2014, and by October, the casting process had begun. Principal photography began on April 13, 2015, in Toronto, Ontario, with additional filming in Chicago, Illinois, and ended in August that year.
Suicide Squad premiered in New York City on August 1, 2016 and was released in the United States on August 5, 2016, in 2D, 3D
and IMAX 3D. Following a strong debut that set new box office records,
the film has grossed over $742 million worldwide; making it the eighth-highest grossing film of 2016.
It received generally negative reviews from critics, however, who found
the plot muddled, the directing choppy, and the characters
thinly-written, though Margot Robbie's performance was praised.
Plot
In the aftermath of Superman's death, intelligence officer Amanda Waller assembles Task Force X, a team of dangerous criminals imprisoned at Belle Reve Prison consisting of elite hitman Deadshot, former psychiatrist Harley Quinn, pyrokinetic ex-gangster El Diablo, opportunistic thief Captain Boomerang, genetic mutation Killer Croc, and specialized assassin Slipknot. They are placed under command of Colonel Rick Flag
to be used as disposable assets in high-risk missions for the United
States government. Each member has a nano bomb implanted in their neck,
designed to detonate should any member rebel or try to escape.
One of Waller's intended recruits is Flag's girlfriend Dr. June Moone,
an archaeologist possessed by a witch-goddess known as the
"Enchantress". Enchantress quickly turns on Waller, deciding to
eradicate humankind with a mystical weapon for imprisoning her. She
besieges Midway City
by transforming its populace into a horde of monsters, and summons her
brother to assist her. Waller then deploys the squad to extract a
high-profile mark from Midway, which is reported to be under a terrorist
attack.
Harley's homicidal lover, the Joker,
finds out about her predicament and tortures Belle Reve Security
Officer Griggs into leading him to the facility where the nano bombs are
made. There, he blackmails one of the program's scientists into
disabling Harley's bomb. On approach, the squad's helicopter is shot
down, forcing them to proceed on foot to their target. Boomerang then
convinces Slipknot that the bombs are a ruse to keep them in check.
Slipknot attempts to escape and is killed via his nano bomb, while the
squad is attacked by Enchantress' minions. They eventually manage to
fight their way through to a safe room, where they learn that their mark
is Waller herself, who is attempting to cover up her involvement in
Enchantress' siege.
The squad escorts Waller to a rooftop for extraction, but the
arriving helicopter has been hijacked by the Joker and his men, who open
fire on the squad while Harley climbs aboard. The helicopter is shot
down by Waller's men, however, and Harley jumps out while the Joker
seemingly perishes in the explosion, after which Harley rejoins the
squad. Alerted to Waller's whereabouts, Enchantress' minions arrive and
kidnap her. Deadshot finds Waller's confidential files and learns the
truth about Enchantress. Flag is then forced to confess the truth,
causing the squad members to abandon him. With Waller compromised, Flag
relieves the squad of the mission, but chooses to continue. Realizing
they have an opportunity to prove themselves, they soon rejoin him and
locate Enchantress at a partially-flooded subway station. Killer Croc
and a group of Navy SEALs,
led by Lieutenant GQ Edwards, go underwater to plant a bomb underneath
her brother. El Diablo embraces his abilities and manages to hold
Incubus down long enough for the bomb to detonate underneath, killing
them both as well as Edwards.
The remaining squad members battle Enchantress together, but are
ultimately defeated. Enchantress offers to fulfill their deepest desires
in exchange for their allegiance, and Harley feigns interest in order
to get close enough to cut out Enchantress's heart. Killer Croc then
throws explosives into Enchantress' weapon and Deadshot shoots them,
destroying the device. Flag takes Enchantress's heart and crushes it,
finally freeing June from the curse. Waller, still alive, emerges, and
the squad members are returned to Belle Reve with ten years off their
sentences. All but Captain Boomerang are allowed special privileges. The
Joker, who survived the crash, breaks into the penitentiary and
reunites with Harley. In a mid-credits scene, Waller meets with Bruce Wayne,
who agrees to protect her from the backlash of Enchantress's rampage in
exchange for access to the government's files on the expanding metahuman community.
