Set in the 1950s, Inglourious Basterds 2: The Final Hunt follows Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), now older and grizzled, as he leads a new team of operatives on a mission to hunt down remnants of the Nazi regime hiding in South America. The film opens with a flashback to the end of World War II, where high-ranking Nazis escape to Argentina under false identities. Decades later, whispers of a secret Nazi resurgence reach Aldo, who is pulled out of retirement for one last mission.
The new team, inspired by the original Basterds, includes a diverse group of fighters: a vengeful Jewish assassin, a fiery Cuban revolutionary, a British spy, and a German defector. Together, they infiltrate a secret Nazi compound in the jungles of Argentina, where a shadowy figure known as “The Butcher of Berlin” (played by Christoph Waltz in a surprise return) is orchestrating a plan to rebuild the Third Reich.
The climax is a bloody, chaotic showdown in the compound, with Aldo and his team taking down the Nazis in Tarantino’s signature over-the-top style. The film ends with Aldo carving a swastika into the Butcher’s forehead, delivering his iconic line: “You know somethin’? I think this just might be my masterpiece.”
Budget and Net Worth Prediction
- Budget: $120 million
