The 2024 remake of “Road House” starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor, is an action-packed drama film trending on Prime Video right now. Directed by Doug Liman, the remake keeps the essence of the 80s classic “Road House” intact: a tough bouncer tackling corruption in a town. However, it adds a contemporary touch with pumping action sequences.
Plot Summary: Dalton is an ex-UFC fighter who is going through a tough time. He gets hired by Frankie in the Road House, a bar in the Florida Keys, as a bouncer following a near-death experience. There, he befriends a bookstore owner named Stephen and his daughter Charlie. Things take a turn when Ben Brandt (Billy Magnussen), the local underworld boss, threatens this establishment.
In no time, Dalton finds out that the violence goes beyond the unruly customers. Brandt’s thugs are involved in the drug racket and want to demolish the bar to build a resort in the area. With a new sense of purpose, Dalton cleans up the bar to fight Brandt’s organization. Additionally, he takes a liking to Dr. Ellie (Daniela Melchior), who begins to question Dalton’s violent past.
As the hostilities escalate when Brandt hurts Stephen and Charlie and kidnaps Ellie, Dalton goes on a rampage, leading to their final confrontation at The Road House.
