De film is gebaseerd op een waargebeurd verhaal en volgt twee bodybuilders (Mark Wahlberg en Dwayne Johnson) op steroïden. Ze kiezen het pad van de misdaad en raken betrokken bij een afpersingszaak en een ontvoering die helemaal uit de hand loopt en in moord eindigt. Detective Ed Du Bois (Ed Harris) krijgt de taak om de zaak op te lossen wanneer de politie van Miami hier niet in slaagt.
Nee, helaas is Pain & Gain nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
