The 2nd arrived on Netflix in the US on November 30th but is the all-action movie a sequel? What is the meaning of its title?

Netflix may be known for its library of big-name original films and TV shows but the streaming service also plays host to a huge range of lesser-known indie films.

The latest of these indie films to arrive on Netflix is the Ryan Phillipe-starring action film, The 2nd.

However, the films title has some viewers confused and has left many asking whether or not a film called The 1st exists.

Is the 2nd a sequel and if not, what is the meaning of its title?

The 2nd arrived on Netflix on November 30th after its initial release earlier in the year.

The film follows Vic Davis, the leader of the Delta Team special forces unit, as a simple visit to collect his son from college leads to an all-action shootout.

Vics son, Shawn, has a crush on a girl called Erin, who is the daughter of the countrys supreme court justice.

When Vic realises that Erins driver is not her usual escort, he quickly grows suspicious and gets ready for action.

Thats right, The 2nd is not a sequel to a film called The 1st.

Instead, the films title is a reference to its plot and the motivation of its main villain.

The 2nds title is a reference to the Second Amendment in the US Constitution which gives US citizens the right to keep and bear arms.

Thats because, the films plot centers around a vote to repeal the Second Amendment, banning guns in the US.

The films villain, Director Phillips of the CIA, wants the Second Amendment to be repealed in the hopes of creating a safer society where school shootings are a thing of the past.

However, hes chosen the wrong victim as Vic, Shawn and Erin see that Director Phillips plan fails.

The 2nd is available to stream now on Netflix in the US after releasing on November 30th while in the UK, the film is due to release on Sunday, December 6th.
