Hard Target 2 (2016), directed by Roel Reiné, is an action-packed film that serves as a sequel to the 1993 cult classic Hard Target.

With a fresh cast including Scott Adkins, Robert Knepper, Temuera Morrison, and Rhona Mitra, the film builds on the premise of its predecessor by delivering high-octane thrills and intense action sequences. Reiné’s direction, combined with a strong ensemble cast and a gripping storyline, offers a revitalized take on the concept of human hunting, presenting a modern and adrenaline-fueled adventure.

The narrative of Hard Target 2 centers on the character of Wes “The Jailbird” Baylor, played by Scott Adkins, a former mixed martial arts fighter who has recently been released from prison. Seeking to leave his violent past behind, Wes travels to Myanmar for a fresh start, only to find himself ensnared in a dangerous and high-stakes hunt organized by wealthy elite hunters.

The plot kicks into high gear when Wes becomes the prey in a deadly game of cat and mouse. The hunters, led by the cunning and ruthless Max (Robert Knepper), target Wes as their latest quarry in an illegal and high-stakes hunting competition. The story unfolds with Wes fighting for survival against skilled adversaries and trying to outwit his hunters while uncovering deeper layers of betrayal and corruption.
