What Are the 'John Wick' Movies About?
The series follows the titular former assassin (Keanu Reeves) as he tries to get revenge against, well, a lot of things. First, it was against the assassins that killed his dog. However, things quickly escalate when the mysterious organization The High Table gets involved.
What makes the John Wick series so unique among similar action films is their tight continuity. Although it is not fully explained, we do know that each film is supposed to take place mere days after the other. While other films in action franchises try to contain separate stories, the events of the John Wick series take place mere days apart. Needless to say, John was quite busy dodging assassins during those days, with the fourth film culminating in his apparent death.
What Streaming Service Are the 'John Wick' Movies On?
