The John Wick franchise is a neo-noir action saga that redefined the genre with its stylish "gun-fu" combat and rich, mythic world-building. What begins as a personal quest for vengeance by a grieving retired hitman—sparked by the death of a puppy gifted by his late wife—quickly expands into a global war against the High Table, the shadowy council governing the criminal underworld. Renowned for its intricate lore involving the Continental Hotel, unbreakable blood oaths, and a secret society of assassins, the series follows the legendary "Baba Yaga" as he fights for his freedom against impossible odds.
