Chon, a former Navy SEAL, smuggled the seeds for the plants out of Afghanistan. They got help in cultivating them from Ben, a graduate of University of California, Berkeley in business and botany. These seeds yielded a particularly potent strain of marijuana that soon developed a wide customer base and made Chon and Ben very wealthy, and Ben began devoting time and money to doing charity work in Africa and Asia. They are both in a relationship with Ophelia Sage (Blake Lively). The trio receive a video from Mexican cartel enforcer Miguel "Lado" Arroyo (Benicio del Toro). The video shows several severed heads and a chainsaw, and demands a meeting. The cartel offers a partnership. Chon and Ben offer to hand over their network and get out of the business, but the cartel wants their expertise and insists on a partnership. Chon and Ben make plans with Ophelia to leave and go to Indonesia for a year, not telling her they are fleeing from the cartel. Chon and Ben speak to corrupt DEA agent Dennis Cain (John Travolta), who urges them to partner with the cartel. Ophelia is kidnapped by Lado's crew. Chon and Ben are notified of Ophelia's kidnapping via a video call from cartel leader Elena Sánchez (Salma Hayek), who threatens to harm Ophelia if Chon and Ben resist the partnership. Chon and Ben speak with Dennis about the situation. Dennis informs them that Elena is facing the loss of her political connections in Mexico, foiling her efforts to move into the US. She has already lost her entire family, and Dennis has nothing on her that can help them. Chon stabs Dennis in the hand and demands that Dennis provide DEA intel so they can retaliate against Elena. With help from Chon's Navy SEAL friends, the duo attack a cartel money convoy, killing seven of Elena's men. Ophelia is being kept in horrible living conditions and demands to speak to whomever is in charge. Lado drugs and rapes Ophelia as revenge for going over his head. Elena travels to the US to visit her daughter and to deal with the escalating situation; she has Ophelia brought with her. Chon and Ben decide to frame Alex (Demián Bichir), a high-ranking member of the cartel, as an agent of Elena's rival El Azul. With help from Dennis, they falsify the evidence and give it to Lado. Lado tortures Alex and forces Ben to immolate him; Ophelia is forced to watch. Lado decides to double-cross Elena, and begin working with El Azul. Ben and Chon pay Dennis $3 million for information on Elena's daughter, Magda (Sandra Echeverria), and the name of his snitch in Elena's cartel. After kidnapping Magda, Ben and Chon video call Elena, establishing that they are now in control. With Elena at their mercy, they arrange a meeting to exchange Ophelia and Magda. The exchange will take place in the desert, with snipers from both sides in position. Elena asks for the identity of the man who revealed her daughter's location. Chon reveals that it was Lado. Elena attempts to kill Lado, but he shoots her first. An intense firefight erupts. Chon is shot several times. Lado is shot in the back by Ben, but Lado shoots Ben in the neck before being killed by Ophelia. With Ben mortally wounded, Chon injects Ben, himself, and Ophelia with a fatal overdose, so they can die together. The foregoing is revealed as a nightmare experienced by Ophelia. At the actual meeting, Lado steals Elena's car and escapes as Dennis leads DEA agents to the scene. Everyone except Lado and Magda is arrested. Because Ben possesses incriminating information about Dennis, Dennis names Ben and Chon as his informants within the cartel, and they are released. Elena is sentenced to thirty years in prison, and El Azul and Lado create a new cartel called "The Azulados". Ben, Chon, and Ophelia leave the country. They live in a hut by a beach, possibly in Indonesia. Ophelia wonders if they're living like savages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Savages (2012 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
