The plot revolves around McCall's realization that some of his friends are under the control of the local mafia bosses, and his unwavering resolve to take action to protect them.

The "Equalizer" franchise first premiered in 2014, based on the 1980s CBS series of the same name. The second film was released in 2018, and the third instalment is set to conclude the series. Fans of Washington's action-thriller films can look forward to seeing him in his last action-packed outing as Robert McCall.
