The Commando is a 2022 American action crime thriller film directed by Asif Akbar and starring Mickey Rourke and Michael Jai White.
A DEA SWAT team, led by elite DEA agent James Baker (Michael Jai White), assaults a Mexican cartel's drug lab. The bad guys are taken out in the ensuing gun fight, but Baker inadvertently kills three hostages, a mother and her two daughters. As a result of PTSD-induced hallucinations, nightmares, and not being able to differentiate between reality and illusion, Baker is sent home to recover.
During this time, one of his daughters makes an unexpected discovery in their home&mdasha stash worth $3 million. It's revealed that Baker lives, with his wife Lisa (Aris Mejía) and their two teenage daughters, in the house where career criminal Johnny (Mickey Rourke) had hidden the stolen money.
Johnny catches up with an old friend who is now the town's sheriff, and he offers him a bribe to help him out. The sheriff sends a deputy to Baker's home to bring Baker to the station. He tells him he has a warrant for his arrest. Baker looks at it, and realizing it hasn't been signed by a judge, he leaves the station.
The Baker family soon faces the danger and threat of the freshly-sprung Johnny, who quickly reunites with his old crew to recover the $3 million of stolen money. Just before his release, Johnny retaliated against three inmates who tried to shank him right before he was freed.
Needing a break, Baker heads off with his wife Lisa for a quiet weekend together, leaving their two daughters home alone. The youngest girl promptly organizes a house party. The oldest daughter stays in her room and also discovers another stash of money under the flooring. Outside, she bumps into her father's friend Sebastian, who has come to check on them she shows him what she has found and he tells her to hide it again until they speak to her father. He promptly goes downstairs and sends the party guests home.
