Still stressed by the events of the first film, Michael Bryce (Creator/RyanReynolds) decides to take a holiday and not think about bodyguarding. His plans come to a screeching halt when Sonia Kincaid (Creator/SalmaHayek) and Darius Kincaud (Creator/SamuelLJackson) - who is the cause of his psychological problems - barrels into his life. On top of that, Interpol assigns the three with a mission to prevent terrorist Aristotle Papadopoulos (Creator/AntonioBanderas) from disrupting all-electric power in Europe. This leads our heroes into a series of mishaps, explosions, and a chance meeting with an old family member (Creator/MorganFreeman) where Bryce will find out what kind of person he truly is.
