NOTE: This plot information contains some spoilers from the two games, Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. Prologue: Ground Zeroes: The story follows Snake as he infiltrates an American black site in Cuba called Camp Omega, attempting to rescue Cipher agent Paz Ortega Andrade (McKenna Grace) and former Sandinista child soldier Ricardo "Chico" Valenciano Libre (Brady Noon). The mission was chaotic as Paz Ortega had two bombs in her body, as one of them was taken out. However, unfortunately, there was still one left inside her as Snake and his rescue team in the helicopter didn’t know there was until Paz jumps out of the helicopter and explodes her and the rest of the group inside the helicopter, leading Snake into getting injured into a coma in the hospital after the incident. In The Phantom Pain and after the events of Ground Zeroes, Snake goes by the codename; Punished “Venom” Snake as he assembles a private military organization; “Diamond Dogs”, alongside Revolver Ocelot (Finn Wolfhard) and Kazuhira Miller (Timothée Chalamet), as he goes into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan and the Angola–Zaire border region to exact revenge on the antagonist, Skull Face (Bill Skarsgård) and his organization, XOF, led by Cipher, who are responsible of Paz Ortega’s attempted assassination. Unlike the video game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which left the story unfinished and unresolved, this movie adaptation concludes the story completely, with the villains defeated and dead, and Snake and the Diamond Dogs victorious. The fate of Quiet remains unknown, but it is not dead.
