Zusammenfassung

Robert McCall, ehemaliger Agent der Defense Intelligence Agency, lebt mittlerweile in einem Apartmentkomplex in Massachusetts. Er arbeitet als Taxifahrer und hilft Menschen, die im Leben Schweres durchgemacht oder Unrecht erfahren haben. Unterstützt wird McCall von seiner engen Freundin und ehemaligen Geheimdienstkollegin Susan Plummer. So reist er in der Eingangsszene des Films mit dem Zug nach Istanbul, um die entführte Tochter einer Buchhändlerin zu befreien. Ein anderer Fall ist Sam Rubinstein, ein Holocaust-Überlebender, der nach dem Gemälde seiner Schwester sucht. Sam und seine Schwester wurden getrennt, als sie von den Nazis in verschiedene Lager verbracht wurden. Das Gemälde wurde jedoch versteigert, da Sam keinen gerichtsfesten Nachweis erbringen konnte, dass er – und seine Schwester, falls diese noch lebt – die rechtmäßigen Besitzer sind.

Als McCall eines Tages entdeckt, dass der Garten und eine Wand im Hinterhof des Apartmentkomplexes verwüstet worden sind, nimmt er einen Vorschlag von seinem jungen Nachbarn Miles Whittaker an und beauftragt ihn dann, die Außenwand neu zu streichen. Ein anderes Mal rettet er Miles vor einer Gang, die ihn drängt, Mitglieder einer gegnerischen Gang zu töten.

Eines Tages bittet eine staatliche Behörde Susan um Hilfe bei der Einschätzung eines Falles in Brüssel. Sie soll untersuchen, ob es sich bei dem Tod eines Agenten und seiner Ehefrau um Doppelmord oder Mitnahmesuizid handelt. Gemeinsam mit dem DIA-Mitarbeiter Dave York, ehemaliger Partner von McCall, besichtigt sie den Tatort. Zurück im Hotel wird Susan in ihrem Zimmer überfallen und getötet. Auf den Videoaufzeichnungen der Überwachungskameras sind die Täter mit Rucksäcken zu erkennen. McCall findet anhand von Indizien heraus, dass die von den örtlichen Ermittlern erarbeitete Hypothese, Susan könnte das Opfer eines Raubmordes geworden sein, nicht stimmig ist. McCall informiert York, der ihn jahrelang für tot gehalten hatte, über seine Erkenntnisse.

Als McCall in seinem Taxi von einem Fahrgast angegriffen wird, tötet er diesen und nimmt dessen Handy an sich. Er findet heraus, dass York auf der Anrufliste des Täters steht, sucht ihn zuhause auf und stellt ihn zur Rede. Dieser gibt unumwunden zu, seit der Entlassung aus dem DIA-Dienst als Söldner zu arbeiten, nachdem er sich von der Regierung „benutzt und entsorgt“ gefühlt hat. Er gesteht, Susan eigenhändig getötet zu haben, weil zu befürchten stand, sie könnte die wahren Hintergründe des Tatgeschehens in Brüssel ans Licht bringen.

Resnik und Ari, Teamkollegen von York, begeben sich zu Susans Haus, um ihren Ehemann Brian zu töten, aber McCall schafft es gerade noch rechtzeitig, Brian in Sicherheit zu bringen. York bricht mit Kovac, einem weiteren Teamkollegen, in McCalls Wohnung ein, in der sich Miles gerade befindet. Dieser kann sich mit McCalls telefonischer Hilfe zunächst in einem Geheimgang hinter einem Bücherregal verstecken, wird schließlich aber doch von York und Kovac als Geisel gefangen genommen.

McCall kehrt in seine Heimatstadt am Meer zurück, die gerade evakuiert wird, da sich ein Hurrikan nähert, und macht sich für York und sein Team bereit. Während York sich auf einem Wachturm in Scharfschützenposition befindet, schaltet McCall das restliche Team einen nach dem anderen aus. Auf sich allein gestellt offenbart York, dass er Miles im Kofferraum seines Wagens gefesselt hat. Er schießt auf den Wagen, um McCall aus seinem Versteck zu locken. Nachdem McCall den letzten Schuss sabotiert, reißt ein Windstoß York nieder. McCall stellt York auf dem Turm und tötet ihn.

McCall kehrt nach Massachusetts zurück, wo es ihm durch Susans Informationen über das Gemälde von Sams Schwester gelingt, Sam mit seiner verschollenen Schwester wieder zu vereinen. Miles beendet den Neuanstrich des Apartmentkomplexes, kehrt zur Schule zurück und konzentriert sich auf sein Kunststudium. McCall ist in sein altes Haus zurückgezogen.
