Baywatch 2 (2025) – Bigger Waves. Wilder Crimes. Hotter Rescue.

Saving lives is easy. Saving the world? Just another day on the beach.

“Baywatch 2 (2025)” splashes back onto the big screen with even bigger laughs, sun-drenched action, and the signature mix of abs, attitude, and absurd crime-fighting. Directed this time by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Red Notice), the sequel amps up the stakes while keeping the tongue-in-cheek humor that made the first film a guilty pleasure.

Dwayne Johnson returns as Mitch Buchannon, now leading an elite Baywatch unit patrolling the California coast. Just as the team settles into a routine of lifeguard heroics and beach workouts, chaos erupts when a tech billionaire’s experimental underwater drones go rogue, endangering swimmers and threatening to unleash an environmental disaster.

Meanwhile, Matt Brody (Zac Efron), now a minor social media celebrity, gets dragged into a scandal when compromising footage surfaces online, putting the team under public scrutiny. As the Baywatch crew races to uncover a conspiracy involving stolen military technology, Mitch and Brody must navigate jet ski chases, exploding surfboards, and undercover missions — all while maintaining perfect tans.

“Baywatch 2” delivers high-octane set pieces, from daring mid-ocean rescues to hilarious infiltration scenes where the team’s red swimsuits prove less-than-stealthy. The film pokes fun at itself with countless references to slow-motion running, beach clichés, and the absurd idea of lifeguards saving the world.

Beyond the comedy, “Baywatch 2 (2025)” finds room for surprisingly sweet moments, emphasizing loyalty, teamwork, and second chances. Dwayne Johnson’s natural charisma anchors the film, while Zac Efron’s comedic timing provides perfect foil. Fans looking for beachy fun and ridiculous action will find plenty to love in this sun-soaked sequel.
