CRANK: HIGH VOLTAGE (2026) – No Heartbeat, No Mercy

You can’t control a man who charges himself with chaos.

Crank: High Voltage (2026) jolts back to life as a turbocharged sequel-reboot that doesn’t just raise the stakes—it detonates them. Picking up years after the original’s chaotic finale, this modern reimagining brings back the electrifying madness of Chev Chelios, but with even less restraint and twice the voltage. The world has changed, but Chelios hasn't—he’s still angry, still indestructible, and still in desperate need of a power source.

This time, Chelios finds himself hunted by a clandestine biotech corporation that’s using his body as a prototype for an energy-harvesting experiment. With a nuclear-powered artificial heart that short-circuits every 30 minutes, he must keep charging it through increasingly outrageous means—from electrocuting himself in an amusement park ride to hijacking an electric tram mid-rush hour. It's a race against time, against the system, and against the very limits of human survival.

The 2026 version ramps up the chaos with blistering direction by duo Lin & Barlow, blending kinetic camerawork, glitchy edits, and fourth-wall-breaking absurdity. Set in a hyper-stylized Los Angeles that's part neon-drenched video game, part lawless wasteland, Crank: High Voltage doesn’t ask for logic—it demands your adrenaline. Every frame feels like a panic attack with a punk rock soundtrack.

Jason Statham returns with full force, older but even more unhinged, trading subtlety for pure savage charisma. New characters like the rogue hacker Reina and the psychopathic enforcer "Dr. Spark" add fresh energy to the high-octane mayhem, while old favorites reappear in unexpected—and often explosive—ways. Underneath the insanity, there’s still a strange heart beating: one about freedom, revenge, and refusing to die on someone else’s terms.

In the end, Crank: High Voltage (2026) isn’t just a sequel—it’s cinematic defibrillation. Loud, shameless, and unforgettable, it's an unapologetic blast of chaotic brilliance that proves some franchises just can’t be killed… because they’re too busy staying alive.
