Coming to Prime Video January 28, 2026
There’s action. There’s comedy. There’s family drama. And then there’s The Wrecking Crew a high-octane, island-set thrill ride that brings together two of Hollywood’s most commanding presences, Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, in a story that’s as explosive as it is personal.
Set against the electric backdrop of Hawai‘i, The Wrecking Crew is more than just a buddy action-comedy. It’s a film about bloodlines, broken bonds, and the kind of loyalty that only reveals itself when everything is on the line.
Family Is the Battlefield
At the center of the film are estranged half-brothers Jonny (Jason Momoa) and James (Dave Bautista). They haven’t spoken in years and for good reason. But when their father’s sudden and mysterious death forces them back into each other’s orbit, the brothers are pulled into a dangerous unraveling of secrets that should’ve stayed buried.
What begins as a reluctant reunion quickly spirals into something much bigger. As the brothers dig deeper, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not only their family’s legacy, but their own survival. Trust is fragile. Loyalties are tested. And fists, bullets, and chaos follow close behind.
Together, they may not like each other but they’re ready to wreck anything that stands in their way.
