The Expendables
Sacrificial action team
The Expendables is a film franchise centered on a team of aging mercenaries, featuring ensemble casts of action stars from the 1980s and 1990s.
The title plays on the military sense of expendable—soldiers considered acceptable losses.
The films embrace nostalgic excess: It's like The Expendables but for horror icons.
