Jason Brody is on vacation with a group of friends in the Rook Islands, celebrating his younger brother Riley getting a pilot's license. However, on a skydiving trip, they land on a pirate-infested island and are kidnapped by pirate lord Vaas who plans to sell them into slavery. Jason escapes with help from his older brother Grant , who is killed by Vaas. Jason is rescued by Dennis, who is an adopted member of the islands' native Rakyat tribe. Dennis recognizes Jason's potential as a warrior, and gives him the Tatau, the tattoos of a Rakyat warrior. Jason then helps the Rakyat in a number of missions and ends up finding one of his friends, Daisy (Natalie Brown), at the house of Dr. Earnhardt (Martin Kevan), a botanist studying the island's flora. Impressed with Jason's prowess, the Rakyat allow him to be the second (after Dennis, who is Liberian) outsider to enter their sacred temple, and their leader and priestess, Citra (Faye Kingslee), initiates Jason into the tribe after he returns the Silver Dragon Knife, a Rakyat relic. He runs a series of missions, during which he rescues his captive girlfriend Liza (Mylène Dinh-Robic) and his friends Keith (James A. Woods) and Oliver (Kristian Hodko), while simultaneously assisting the Rakyat in retaking their island with the help of Dr. Earnhardt and CIA agent Willis Huntley (Alain Goulem). After a few run-ins with Vaas, Jason discovers that Vaas is Citra's brother, and his pirates are employed by Hoyt Volker (Steve Cumyn), a notorious slave trader and drug lord. Jason soon matures into a fearsome warrior and, revered by the Rakyat, begins to enjoy all the killing, growing more distant from his friends in the process. After Citra asks him to stay on the island, Jason returns to Earnhardt's house and tells his friends that he is staying. Meanwhile, Jason has an affair with Citra after she drugs him and has sex with him in a hallucination. After bidding goodbye to his friends, Jason heads to Vaas' pirate base. Believing that Jason is dead after a confrontation between the two, Vaas is celebrating Jason's death, although it transpires he is actually waiting for him. After Jason kills numerous pirates and reaches a warehouse, he and Vaas fight, but Jason enters a delusional state, fighting multiple duplicates of Vaas in a dream. He reaches a final Vaas, and after a brief struggle, impales him through the chest with the Dragon Knife and collapses right beside him. He wakes up to Citra in the Rakyat's temple, and promises to kill Hoyt for her. After Huntley helps him get into Hoyt's island, Jason infiltrates Hoyt's personal army with the help of Sam Becker (Stephen Bogaert), Huntley's fellow operative. During this time, Jason discovers that Riley was not dead as led to believe, but a prisoner of Hoyt. Jason works his way into Hoyt's confidence, who eventually invites him and Becker to a poker night. After making a plan to kill Hoyt, Jason and Becker sit down at the poker game, but Hoyt stabs Becker in the throat and kills him, having deduced their duplicity. Jason engages, defeats, and kills Hoyt in a knife fight, losing half a finger in the process, and finally rescues Riley, though not before receiving a call from Liza which is quickly cut off. Jason and Riley fly to Dr. Earnhardt's house to find it on fire: the dying doctor tells them that the house was attacked by the Rakyat, who have captured Jason's friends, and the two head to the Rakyat temple. Jason asks Citra why his friends were captured, but she drugs him and captures Riley. Citra tells Jason that she has fallen in love with him, believing him to be a powerful warrior of Rakyat legend, and that she will free him. He starts dreaming of walking a fiery path with the Dragon Knife, with Liza appearing as a monster in his dream. He wakes up holding Liza at knife point with the Dragon Knife, and is given the choice to either free his friends or ally with Citra. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IskQRzOIGv0
