| - G.I. Joe: Retaliation (also known as G.I. Joe 2 or G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation) is an 2013 American science fiction action film directed by Jon M. Chu, based on Hasbro's G.I. Joe toy, comic and media franchises. It is a sequel to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
- The film features the G.I. Joe Team coming into a conflict with Zartan, Storm Shadow and Firefly who are now all serving under the newly released Cobra Commander. Zartan (who is last seen in disguise as the President of the United States) frames all G.I. Joe operatives as traitors and wipes most of the Joes out with a sneak blitz attack, leaving only Roadblock, Snake-Eyes, Flint and Lady Jaye. Zartan now has all the world leaders under Cobra control, with warheads headed towards innocent populaces. Badly beaten, outnumbered and outgunned, the Joes had to make a desperate plan to expose the truth, and take back the world from Cobra where they make their covert black ops war called the "Second American Revolution".
- The sequel to G.I. Joe the Rise of Cobra, the elite team finds themselves framed as terrorists and assaulted by their own people, killing most of their numbers. Cobra has slipped moles into the United States government and are now in control from behind the scenes. With manpower and supplies limited, they have to take strike back and undo what has happened. The film is clearly marketed to be a change of pace from Rise of Cobra, dealing with more close quarters fights and infiltration, less (though not no) extravagant technology and submarine battles.

| - The vehicle driven by Roadblock in the final action sequence is a relatively new U.S. Military vehicle called the Ripsaw. At the time of the film's release it is deployed in a display capacity for the U.S. Army. It can reach top speeds of above 80 mph, and an amphibious version is in the works.

| Errors
| - Everyone in Cobra seems to recognize Cobra Commander, even though he appointed himself Cobra Commander in a submarine with only Destro as a witness. Who led and grew the Cobra organization in the interim?

| ItemsOfNote
| - *Cobra Commander has a different helmet from the last film: a black one bearing a snake design. He now looks more like Cobra Commander from the original G.I. Joe.
*Roadblock was originally to appear in the first film. Producer di Bonaventora wants to do a ninja story in the third film.
*Director Trademark : Roadblock recites lyrics from "Don't Let Me Die" by Jay-Z while briefing with the remaining Joes.

| Synopsis
| - In the Demilitarized Zone of the Korean Peninsula, Duke leads Roadblock, Mouse and Flint to find their North Korean mole. While they succeed, Flint takes the victory a bit too far, hanging the flag of the Joes in place of the North Korean flag.
Later, Pakistan is in a civil war after the death of its President. The G.I. Joes are sent in to retrieve Pakistani nuclear warheads before any go missing. Unfortunately, the Joes are framed for stealing the nuclear warheads by Zartan who is impersonating the President of the United States since the events of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Most of the team is eliminated in a military strike with Duke as one of the casualties. Roadblock , Flint and Lady Jaye are the only survivors.
In secret prison facility in Germany located mostly underground, Storm Shadow allows himself to be captured for killing the Pakistani President. He escapes and is joined by ex-Joe Firefly who both rescue Cobra Commander , but leave Destro behind. Storm Shadow is injured during the escape and retreats to a temple in the Himalayas to recover. Upon learning that he is alive, the Blind Master , leader of the Arashikage Clan, sends Snake Eyes and his apprentice Jinx , Storm Shadow's cousin, to capture Storm Shadow so he can answer for the murder of his uncle, the Hard Master.
Roadblock, Flint, and Lady Jaye return to the United States where they set up a base of operations in a rundown gym. After Zartan announces that Cobra will replace the Joes as America's main protective unit, Lady Jaye deduces that someone is impersonating the President and Roadblock leads them to General Joseph Colton who provides them with weapons and helps them infiltrate a fundraising event that the President will be attending, where Lady Jaye steals a sample of his DNA and confirms that he is Zartan. They escape after a brief confrontation with Firefly and Zandar , the head of the United States Secret Service Presidential Detail and a member of Cobra.
Snake Eyes and Jinx locate and capture Storm Shadow after a battle with ninjas and take him back to Japan where Storm Shadow reveals that Zartan murdered the Hard Master and he joined Cobra to avenge his uncle, embittered that the clan didn't believe in his innocence. Storm Shadow then accompanies Snake Eyes and Jinx as they join the Joes' efforts to stop Cobra.
Zartan invites the world leaders to a summit at historic Fort Sumter, where he then launches all of the United States' nuclear warheads when the leaders don't immediately agree to total nuclear disarmament. All the leaders respond to the threat by launching their own arsenals. Zartan then self-destructs the US warheads and the other leaders are forced to do so as well. Zartan and Cobra Commander then reveal that they have created Project Zeus: Seven orbital kinetic bombardment weapons of mass destruction, all at his command. He destroys central London to prove his superiority and threatens to destroy other capitals if the countries don't submit to Cobra. However, Storm Shadow betrays Cobra Commander and kills Zartan, revealing Cobra's deception to the world leaders.
While Snake Eyes, Jinx and Flint fight Cobra's soldiers, Cobra Commander activates the remaining six weapons and instructs Firefly to protect the launch device. Firefly is killed in combat with Roadblock, who deactivates and destroys the orbital weapons. Meanwhile, Colton and Lady Jaye rescue the President, killing Zandar as well.
Cobra Commander escapes during the battle and Storm Shadow disappears after avenging his uncle. The real President is put back into power and addresses the nation at a ceremony where Roadblock, Jaye, Flint, Jinx, and Snake Eyes are commemorated as heroes and G.I. Joe is reinstated as America's main protective unit. Colton thanks each of them, but when he gets to Roadblock, he presents him with the gun of General George S. Patton, for when he finally finds Cobra Commander and avenges Duke and the other Joes. Roadblock proudly raises the gun in the air and lets out one shot.
