The first trailer for Extraction 3 (2025) on Netflix opens with a heart-pounding sequence, immediately setting the tone for another intense and action-packed chapter. This time, we see the return of Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth), who barely survived the brutal missions from the previous films. As the trailer begins, Rake is living in solitude, haunted by his past. His body shows the scars of his former life, but the peace he seeks is shattered when a new and deadly mission is thrust upon him.
The camera cuts to a fast-paced montage of global locations—sprawling deserts, dense jungles, and futuristic cityscapes. Rake is called back into action when his old contact, Alia (Golshifteh Farahani), informs him of a hostage situation that could threaten global stability. The stakes are higher than ever before, and this time, the extraction involves not just one person, but an entire family of high-profile political figures kidnapped by a powerful and violent cartel.
Enter Idris Elba’s character, Vincent Kane, a former elite soldier and now a key player in international covert operations. Kane is introduced in a dramatic sequence where he expertly dismantles an enemy convoy in a desert ambush. He is a man with a mission of his own—one that conflicts with Rake’s. The trailer hints at a complicated dynamic between the two, as Vincent’s objectives aren’t entirely clear, leading to moments of tension and uneasy alliance.
As the action ramps up, viewers are treated to some of the series’ signature stunts—Rake leaping from a helicopter onto a speeding train, massive shootouts in city streets, and a high-speed car chase through a desert wasteland. The hand-to-hand combat scenes are gritty and relentless, with Rake facing off against waves of mercenaries in narrow hallways and brutal fights atop moving vehicles.
In one particularly gripping moment, Rake and Kane are seen fighting back-to-back against a cartel army, hinting at a reluctant partnership. Their chemistry is electric, with Elba’s cool demeanor balancing Hemsworth’s intense physicality.
The trailer ends with a massive explosion, leaving Rake and Kane standing on the edge of a war-torn city as Rake delivers a hard-hitting line: “You get one shot at redemption. Don’t waste it.” The title Extraction 3 flashes across the screen, promising a high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride that raises the bar on action and intrigue.
