"I don't know how high up this shit goes, but don't trust anybody. You're my bad boys, now clear my name."
— Captain Conrad Howard
Bad Boys: Ride or Die is a 2024 American buddy cop film and is the third sequel to Bad Boys, following Bad Boys II and Bad Boys for Life. Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah once again return to direct, while Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reprise their roles as Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett respectively.
Sometime before his death in the previous film, it turns out that the late Captain Howard had recorded an urgent message revealing that he had been framed for making deals with a drug cartel. As the message reaches Mike and Marcus, the two find themselves being set up as well, and must now go on the run to prove not only their deceased captain's innocence, but also theirs.
