Movies that feel likeThe Expendables 3 (2014)

Barney, Christmas and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks, who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet.

If you loved The Expendables 3, the closest films we have are Ashfall (2019), The Grey (2012) and The Wolf's Call (2019). All three share The Expendables 3's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Pathaan (2023).

Shown from the perspective of a young submariner with unusually sensitive hearing and uncannily precise sound recognition.

Trying to regain the confidence of his comrades, he conducts an unauthorised investigation of an apparent plot which, it turns out, risks escalating into a nuclear apocalypse. Suddenly working under pressure with the fleet admiral, they must do whatever is necessary, even the unthinkable, to prevent a nuclear war, since a confirmed nuclear strike order cannot be countermanded.
