''Red'' (abbreviation for Retired, Extremely Dangerous) is a 2010 American action comedy film inspired by the limited comic book series of the same name created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner and published by the DC Comics imprint Homage. The film stars Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren and Karl Urban, with German film director Robert Schwentke directing a screenplay by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber. In the film version, the title is derived from the designation of former CIA Agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis), meaning "Retired and Extremely Dangerous". The film was released on October 15, 2010. A sequel, ''Red 2'', was released on July 19, 2013. Another sequel, ''Red 3'', is in development. ==Plot== Frank Moses (Bruce Willis), a former black-ops CIA agent, is retired and living a quiet life in a Cleveland, Ohio, suburb. However, Frank is lonely and often chats on the phone with Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker), a Customer Service Agent for the General Services Administration Pension Office in Kansas City, Missouri. He creates opportunities to talk to her by tearing up his pension checks and calling her to say they had never arrived. His life is disrupted when a six-person wetwork squad raids his house in the middle of the night. Frank single-handedly kills the entire squad. Knowing they have tapped his phone, he goes to Kansas City to protect Sarah. Since she refuses to go with him, he binds and gags her with duct tape. She becomes Frank's reluctant companion while he tries to find out who is trying to kill him; and he tracks down his old associates for help. Meanwhile, CIA agent William Cooper (Karl Urban) is assigned by his boss, Cynthia Wilkes (Rebecca Pidgeon), to hunt down and kill Frank. Frank first goes to New Orleans, Louisiana. After leaving Sarah bound and gagged in their motel room, he finds his terminally ill C.I.A. mentor, Joe Matheson (Morgan Freeman), living in a skilled nursing facility. Joe tells Frank that the same hit squad murdered a reporter for ''The New York Times''. Meanwhile, Sarah manages to break free but is rescued by Frank when another agent, posing as a police officer, tries to kidnap her. Cooper attacks them, but Frank tricks the police, so that they arrest Cooper, which gives them time to escape. The two head to New York City and find clues left behind by the deceased reporter, which leads them to a hit list. They then track down Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich), also a former black ops agent and a paranoid conspiracy theorist, to provide more information. After reading the list, Marvin tells them that the names on the list are all connected to a 1981 secret mission in Guatemala in which Frank and Marvin participated, and that one person, Gabriel Singer (James Remar), is still alive. The trio tracks down Singer, who tells them that the mission involved extracting a person from a village. Singer is then assassinated by a helicopter-borne machine-gunner, and the team escapes as Cooper closes in. Frank goes to ex-Russian secret agent Ivan Simanov (Brian Cox), offering him a favor in exchange for his help in infiltrating CIA headquarters. Along with Sarah, Frank gets inside and the records keeper (Ernest Borgnine) – who has much respect for Frank – simply hands him the Guatemala file. Frank goes to confront Cooper in his office and the two have a vicious fight. Though Frank is victorious, he is shot during his escape. Having escaped an attempt on his life, Joe arrives and helps extract the team. They hide out in the home of former wetwork agent Victoria (Helen Mirren), who treats Frank's wound and joins the team. After reviewing the file, all the team can figure out is that the only man on the reporter's list but not in the file is Alexander Dunning (Richard Dreyfuss). Joe masquerades as a dictator from an unnamed country and secures a meeting with Dunning, who is an illegal arms dealer. As Victoria waits outside with Sarah to keep watch, Dunning reveals under interrogation that the mission was to extract the now–Vice President Robert Stanton (Julian McMahon), who is trying to cover up the fact that he massacred village civilians. At that moment, Cooper and the FBI surround Dunning's mansion. Cooper tries to negotiate Frank's surrender, but Frank tells Cooper about the Vice President's treachery. Joe sacrifices himself by pretending to be Frank surrendering, and, as Joe exits the house, he is killed by an unknown sniper. The confusion, as well as Victoria's cover fire, buys the team enough time to escape, but Sarah falls down a slope and is captured. The rest of the team is rescued by Ivan, who is a former lover of Victoria. Frank calls Cooper from the Cooper family's home and threatens the family if Sarah is harmed. The team, along with Ivan, infiltrate Stanton's fundraising gala in Chicago and successfully kidnap him despite Cooper's efforts to stop them. Frank calls Cooper and says he is willing to trade Stanton for Sarah. At the meeting point, Dunning arrives and after a short dialogue, shoots Stanton, revealing that he is the mastermind behind the assassinations and that Stanton has merely been a pawn. Cynthia Wilkes is also in on the plot. Disgusted with Dunning and Wilkes' greed and corruption, Cooper pretends to go along with handcuffing Frank. He suddenly shoots Wilkes while Marvin and Victoria kill Dunning's bodyguards, and Frank kills Dunning with a blow to the windpipe. Cooper agrees to let Frank and his team go and he is left to sort things out. As they leave the scene, Frank and Sarah are eager to start a new life together. Ivan reminds Frank that he owes him a favor. A few months later, Frank and Marvin are in Moldova, fleeing from Moldovan Army troops with a stolen nuclear device, with Marvin wearing a dress and in a wooden wheelbarrow being pushed by Frank. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red (2010 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
