The Suicide Squad
They’re dying to save the world.
Directed by James Gunn
Produced by DC Films, Atlas Entertainment
A gleefully violent, absurdist action-comedy that balances graphic gore and monster mayhem with irreverent humor and found-family camaraderie among expendable antiheroes.
Supervillains Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker and a collection of nutty cons at Belle Reve prison join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X as they are dropped off at the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.
