A double bill of action thrillers. In '12 Rounds' (2009), wrestler John Cena stars as Detective Danny Baxter, who discovers that his girlfriend Molly (Ashley Scott) has been kidnapped by his old adversary, ex-con Miles Jackson (Aidan Gillen). In order to secure Molly's safe release, Baxter must now battle against the clock to complete 12 rounds of dangerous challenges carefully plotted by Jackson through the streets of New Orleans. In '12 Rounds 2' (2013), when paramedic Nick Malloy (Randy Orton) receives a mysterious phone call from a psychotic killer (Brian Markinson) telling him that his wife has been abducted, he's forced to take on 12 challenges within a specified time, and without telling the cops, or risk a city wide bloodbath at the hands of his tormentor. Now, with the clock ticking and his wife's life hanging by a thread, Nick must use all of his wits to discover who his adversary is, and more importantly, how to stop him.
