Transporter 3
Transporter 3 (French: Le Transporteur 3) is a 2008 English-language French action film directed by Olivier Megaton. It is the final installment in the original trilogy of the Transporter franchise, but not the last movie, since it was succeeded by The Transporter Refueled, also called Transporter 4 (2015). Jason Statham and François Berléand reprise their roles as Frank Martin and Inspector Tarconi. Frank Martin returns to France in order to continue his low-key business of delivering packages without question. Transporter 3 grossed $112.9 million, making it the highest-grossing film in the trilogy.
Plot
On a cargo ship at sea, two workers open a shipping container to discover barrels of toxic waste, and succumb to the deadly fumes. The ship's captain, aware of the cargo, disposes of their bodies. Meanwhile, having returned from Miami to the French Riviera, Frank Martin is unsuccessfully fishing with his friend Inspector Tarconi, who receives a call about a black Audi A8 that sped through French customs and evaded police. In Odesa, Ukrainian Environmental Agency Minister Leonid Tomilenko receives a threat from corrupt Ecocorp official Jonas Johnson to reopen business negotiations.
