Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Best Movies, Ranked

Johnson was coming off his success in “The Scorpion King” and still being billed as The Rock when he starred in this over-the-top action comedy. He plays no-nonsense bounty hunter Beck, who’s tasked with bringing home his boss’s loudmouth son (Scott). Despite underperforming at the box office, it helped establish Johnson as a formidable talent.

Johnson reprised his role as agent Luke Hobbs for this eighth installment of the blockbuster “Fast & Furious” franchise. This time around, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) must choose between two sides after he’s recruited by a terrorist organization. It was the first entry in the series not to feature Paul Walker, who’d tragically died in a 2013 car accident.

The character of Luke Hobbs (Johnson) was so popular that he and nemesis Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) received their own spinoff. It finds the two adversaries forging an uneasy alliance to take down a cybernetically-enhanced supervillain (Idris Elba). The film underperformed domestically but still achieved a global haul of $759 million.

The 2017 fantasy flick “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” (see No. 5) was a surprise smash, making this follow-up more or less inevitable. It brings back the original cast for another epic adventure through perilous terrain. Johnson was also on board as a producer.

Taking cues from its immediate predecessor (“Fast Five”), the sixth film in the series drifts further away from the franchise’s street racing origins. With help from Dom and Brian (Paul Walker), Hobbs pursues criminal mastermind Owen Shaw (Luke Evans). That gives way to outrageously impossible action sequences of globe-spanning proportions…naturally.
