Bad Boys: Ride or Die picks up not long after the events of Bad Boys for Life, where Miami Police Detective Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Lawrence), suffered the tragic loss of their mentor, police Captain Conrad Howard (Joe Pantaliano). In Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Conrad is posthumously framed as a corrupt officer, so Mike and Marcus are determined to clear his name.

To reveal the truth, however, the duo needs the help of Armando Aretas (Jacob Scipio), who is Conrad's assassin and the son Mike never knew he had. That won't be easy either, since assassins want Armando dead the minute he steps out of jail.
