The story
Ever since US Diplomatic Security Service Agent Hobbs and lawless outcast Shaw first faced off, they just have traded smack talk and body blows. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton's ruthless actions threaten the future of humanity, they join forces to defeat him.
Hobbs & Shaw recap
MI6 agent Hattie Shaw injects herself with a programmable virus called Snowflake to stop it falling into the hands of Brixton Lore, a cybernetically enhanced terrorist working for the shadowy tech group Eteon. Brixton frames her as a traitor. Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, Hattie's brother, who loathe each other, are forced to work together to find her and extract the virus before it kills her. They chase her across London, then to a lab in Ukraine, and finally to Samoa, Hobbs's homeland, where his estranged family helps them.
Hobbs & Shaw ending explained
Hobbs's brothers and the Samoans fight Brixton's men with traditional weapons, and Hobbs and Shaw beat Brixton together. Eteon's director, heard only as a voice, terminates Brixton. The virus is extracted, and Hobbs reconciles with his family.
Post-credits scenes
Yes. In mid-credits and post-credits scenes, Hobbs takes calls from CIA agent Locke, played by Ryan Reynolds, who mentions a new virus threat, and Hobbs gets revenge on Shaw with a prank in a London pub.
