DOOM: Live Action (2025), Dwayne Johnson stars as the legendary Doom Slayer, taking the brutal, fast-paced action of the beloved video game franchise to the big screen. The film opens with the UAC (Union Aerospace Corporation) base on Mars descending into chaos after an experiment to harness energy from Hell goes horribly wrong. Demons pour through portals, wreaking havoc and wiping out nearly all the personnel. The Doom Slayer, awakened from a mysterious sarcophagus deep within the UAC facility, rises to fight back.
The early scenes set the tone for what’s to come: relentless, bloody violence. Johnson’s Doom Slayer is a silent, unstoppable force, tearing through demonic hordes with a vast array of iconic weapons. From his double-barreled shotgun to the devastating BFG (Big Freaking Gun), the film is a feast for fans of the DOOM franchise, with every gory kill and intense battle staying true to the original games.
As the Doom Slayer slaughters his way through the facility, he discovers that the demonic invasion is not limited to Mars. The UAC’s experiments have opened portals to Hell itself, and the demons plan to use these to reach Earth. Along the way, the Slayer encounters Dr. Olivia Pierce, a high-ranking UAC scientist who has been corrupted by Hell’s power and is acting as the human villain, facilitating the demon invasion for her own twisted reasons.
In the final act, the Doom Slayer ventures into Hell, where the most intense and grotesque battles take place. He faces off against towering demonic creatures, including the Cyberdemon and the Spider Mastermind, in visually stunning and heart-pounding sequences. The film ends on a cliffhanger, with the Slayer preparing to return to Mars as even greater threats loom, teasing a sequel.
