When Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), the leader of an elite mercenary team called "The Expendables", is offered a job by CIA operative Mr Church (Bruce Willis) to assassinate General Garza (David Zayas), a corrupt dictator in Vilena, an island in the Gulf of Mexico, Ross and his knife specialist Lee Christmas (Jason Statham) scout out the island and learn that their real target is rogue FBI agent James Munroe (Eric Roberts), who is keeping Garza in power as a figurehead in order to fund his drug trade. Consequently, Ross refuses the job. When Munroe takes Garza's daughter Sandra (Giselle Itié) hostage, however, Ross must decide whether to return safely to the U.S. or to go back to Vilena and save her. He and the rest of his team—marital arts expert Yin Yang (Jet Li), weapons specialist Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), and demolitionist Toll Road (Randy Couture)—decide to go back ...at the risk of their own lives.

The Expendables is a tribute movie to action/war films from the 1980s and early '90s. Directed by Sylvester Stallone, it features among its cast Stallone and cameos of other actors from such movies, such as Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwartznegger, and Mickey Rourke. The screenplay was written by Stallone and screenwriter Dave Callaham. A comic book prequel, written by American comic book writer Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Esteve Polls, was released in May 2010. The Expendables was followed by Os Mercenários 2 (2012) (2012) and Os Mercenários 3 (2014) (2014). Os Mercenários 4 (2023) is in the works, with a release date set for 2018.

The Expendables fly a Grumman HU-16 Albatross. It has a black paint job with the Expendables logo, a black hawk on a globe, and the name Global Wildlife Conservancy written on it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is in the film as a cameo appearance, he was not paid, and he was only on set for about 6 hours total. The scenes with Schwarzenegger were shot in a studio at night, so the governor was not filming during his political working time.

Yes, during its theatrical run Stallone announced via Twitter that he was working on an Extended Cut of his movie, like he did with Rambo. So far this Extended Cut has only been available for a limited number of customers of the Video On Demand services, such as AT&T U-Verse, Comcast or EpixHD in the United States but will be released in late 2011 on Blu-ray. In total the Extended Cut is approx. 10 minutes longer than the well-known Theatrical Version and features more than 200 changes and especially several characters got more screen time and their actions are now a bit more credible. Especially Dolph Lundgren's character profits from these changes and in conclusion one can say that the Extended Cut is probably a better version than the Theatrical Version and a must for all fans of this movie.

One shot had to be removed, showing a hero sadistically twisting a knife into a guard's neck, in order to obtain a "15" classification. The cut was made in accordance with Guidelines and policy of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). An uncut "18" classification was available. Only the Blu-ray disc version features the uncensored 18-classified cut.
