The story
Super-assassin John Wick returns with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin’s guild, the High Table, John Wick is excommunicado, but the world’s most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn.
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum recap
With minutes left before his excommunication, John runs through New York, fighting killers in a library and a stable. He calls in favours from the Director of the Ruska Roma, who raised him, and travels to Casablanca to ask Sofia, a former friend who manages the Continental there and owes him a marker. Together they find the Elder, the only one above the High Table, and John offers to kill Winston and serve the Table in exchange for his life; he cuts off his ring finger as a sign. Meanwhile the High Table's Adjudicator punishes Winston and the Bowery King for helping John, and the assassin Zero and his students are sent after him.

Back at the Continental, John refuses to kill Winston. The Table's forces attack the hotel; John and Winston fight them off, and John kills Zero. Winston then negotiates with the Adjudicator and shoots John, who falls off a roof. His body vanishes, and he wakes in the care of the Bowery King, who is also angry with the Table. John agrees to go to war with them, which sets up Chapter 4.
