🧩 Plot Summary

Here’s the main storyline (spoiler‐light):

John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is a retired hitman who has left the criminal world. His wife, Helen, recently died, leaving him grief-stricken. Before she died, she arranged for a puppy (named Daisy) to be sent to John, to help him cope. 

John begins to recover, finding emotional solace in the puppy and returning somewhat to normalcy. He also has a vintage 1969 Ford Mustang that was very dear to him. 

A young man named Iosef Tarasov (son of crime lord Viggo Tarasov) becomes interested in John’s car. After John refuses to sell, Iosef later breaks into John’s house, kills the puppy, and steals the car. This horrific act drags John back into the violent world he wanted to leave behind. 

John embarks on a ruthless quest for vengeance, going after Iosef. Viggo, realizing John’s capacity for violence and his reputation, tries to protect his son, leading to escalating conflict. 

The movie also introduces the underworld of assassins with its own codes and rules—e.g. the Continental Hotel as a neutral ground, markers, etc. John uses his old‐skills, resourcefulness, and determination to exact justice.
