'The Suicide Squad' is released in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously in the United States.
Amanda Waller assembles a new Suicide Squad team comprising skilled villains and antiheroes to undertake a dangerous mission on the island nation of Corto Maltese.
The Suicide Squad is deployed to Corto Maltese to destroy the secretive project known as Project Starfish, which involves an ancient alien starfish creature called Starro used as a weapon.
The squad clashes with local rebel forces fighting the dictatorship, complicating their mission on the ground.
The Starro creature is accidentally unleashed in the capital city by members of the Suicide Squad, causing chaos as it begins to control the minds of civilians and soldiers.
The Suicide Squad teams up with surviving locals, including the rebel leader Sol Soria, to find a way to defeat and kill Starro before it overwhelms the entire population.
Bloodsport kills Starro by cutting the creature down, and the Squad secures key intelligence from Project Starfish to hand over to the U.S. government.
The surviving members of the Suicide Squad evacuate Corto Maltese while dealing with consequences of the mission, including the deaths and severe injuries of several team members.
