What is Bad Boys: Ride or Die about?
Like the other three films of the franchise, this movie also brings the ace officers of the Miami Police Department together in a new case. This time, the duo is entangled in the investigation of corruption within the department.
The family man Mike, who is always reluctant to get into violent cases due to his family, suffers a heart attack, and on recovering starts believing that he cannot die. Mike and Marcus are distressed by a news report when their deceased senior Captain Howards is found to be related to a corruption case.
The officers start their own on and off-record investigation of the case and find out that Captain Howards is being framed for corruption because he was aware of the real culprits and wanted to apprehend them. It's soon found that Howard was murdered for the same reason, and now the duo must expose the conspirators.
