The film opens with Alex Rogan refusing the offer that will define the rest of his life. After Centauri the pilot brings him to the remote Starfighter base and explains the duties and stakes of a Starfighter, Alex recoils, insisting he is only a kid from a trailer park and cannot accept such responsibility. Centauri leaves him on Earth, returning Alex to his community and slipping him a small communicator in case he changes his mind. Alex tells Centauri that if he thinks Alex can only ever be a trailer-park kid, then that is all he will ever be. Centauri departs; Alex returns to his trailer, meets the Beta unit Centauri left behind, and debates using the communicator to call Centauri back to collect the decoy.

While Alex weighs his choice, the Frontier explodes into disaster. Xur, commander of the Ko-Dan armada, orders the fleet to rip a hole in the Frontier and send meteors pouring through toward the Starfighter base. A Ko-Dan spy sabotages the base's repulsor guns at the critical moment when they are trying to blow the meteors away; the defensive guns fail and a hail of space-rocks slams into the installation. The meteors devastate the base, destroy the Gunstar ships, and kill all of the Starfighters who were aboard except for one veteran, Grig. The destruction is immediate and absolute; debris and fire consume the hangars and living quarters. Xur initially exults at the apparent annihilation, but his joy is short-lived when intelligence reports reach him that a single Starfighter from Earth may yet remain alive.

Back on Earth, that report prompts Xur to dispatch a Zando-Zan assassin to eliminate Alex. Shortly after Centauri lands several miles from Alex's trailer park to return him to the base, Alex says farewell, but Centauri presses the communicator into Alex's hand. Alex returns home and encounters the Beta unit, indistinguishable from him, and decides to signal Centauri so the Beta can be taken off-world. As he sends the message, a Zando-Zan strikes. Centauri hears the commotion and races back to Alex's trailer. He engages the alien killer in a brutal firefight on the dewy lawn outside the trailer park. Centauri kills the Zando-Zan with well-placed shots, but he sustains a grave wound during the encounter; his body will later show signs of severe trauma and temporary shutdown. Beta arrives amid the chaos to provide cover. Alex realizes the danger will not end with a single assassin: Xur will send more Zando-Zans to finish the job. Centauri, barely coherent, urges Alex to come back to the base and accept the role he initially rejected; Centauri and Beta warn that leaving Beta on Earth to impersonate Alex will draw further attacks and give Xur false confidence that his assassination succeeded.

Alex and Centauri return to the ruined Starfighter base, approaching through a sky still streaked with the fires of meteors and the smoke of destruction. The docking bays are wrecked, charred metal hangs in twisted sheets, and bodies lie where they fell. In the remaining hangar, Grig finds them and, seeing Centauri's wound, the veteran's face crumples. Centauri succumbs, going into a deep dormant state that all present interpret as death; he falls silent and inert on the medical table. Grig then escorts Alex to a protected bay where he reveals a surviving prototype: a Gunstar unlike any other, a compact and advanced ship that escaped the initial attack. Grig thrusts Alex into the cockpit and begins an accelerated tutorial, explaining the ship's unique controls, shields, and weapons systems, including its untested ultimate weapon, a single-use super-volley called the Death Blossom. Grig also informs Alex of the fates of the other Starfighters; the Legion lies broken and the frontier's organized defense lies in ruins.

Grig convinces Alex to accept the rank he earlier refused. He trains Alex aboard the prototype Gunstar -- teaching him vectoring, weapons targeting, and intuitive maneuvers -- and prepares to take the vessel on a desperate, solitary strike against the Ko-Dan armada. They load the prototype, power up the engines, and set a course for the Frontier. Cruising through empty space, they cloak their approach by sheltering inside a large hollowed-out meteor and drift toward the fleet's locus. They hide there, monitoring the armada as it moves into position to assault Rylos; from inside the stone shell they refine their plan to hit the armada's communications array and then exploit the Death Blossom at close range if necessary.

On Earth, the Beta unit is living an awkward life pretending to be Alex. He goes on a date with Alex's girlfriend Maggie, and when the evening grows quiet he admits to her that he is not the real Alex. At that moment a second Zando-Zan, having killed and taken the uniform of a highway patrolman, fires a distant, surreptitious shot that hits Beta. The impact exposes damaged circuitry beneath Beta's skin, and Maggie understands the truth: the person she knows as Alex is a machine. The Zando-Zan then flees back toward its base of operations outside the trailer park to radio a report to the armada that the last Starfighter on Earth is dead. Beta jumps into Blake's truck and pursues the alien. Maggie, insisting on learning more, rides along. Beta chases the Zando-Zan to the crude ground base the alien uses to transmit to the fleet. As the Zando-Zan sets up the communicator and begins to broadcast the words "the last Starfighter…" Beta has Maggie leap to safety moments before he steers Blake's truck full-tilt into the transmission equipment. The truck demolishes the communicator, crushes the Zando-Zan against the wreckage, and Beta's core ruptures in the impact; the decoy detonates and destroys himself along with the alien instrument. When the Ko-Dan command receives the garbled signals, Xur assumes the assassin completed its mission and that Earth's lone fighter is dead; he authorizes the invasion of Rylos.

Alex and Grig watch the enormous Ko-Dan armada pass overhead from their meteor concealment as the enemy columns move toward the planet Rylos. At last the towering command ship signals and the fleet's formation begins to align. Grig and Alex slip from beneath the meteor and accelerate. They race directly at the armada and strike first at the communications turret on one of the lead vessels, intending to blind the fleet to their approach. The Ko-Dan commander aboard the command ship, Lord Kril, observes the attacking vessel on his monitors and identifies it as a Gunstar -- the symbol of the Starfighter Legion. Kril's suspicion and fury erupt; he turns on Xur, berating him for letting a Gunstar survive and ordering that Xur be stripped of command. Kril has Xur dragged into the ship's brig. He then commands all guns to concentrate fire on the intruding Gunstar.

Alex maneuvers under the incoming barrage and fires, shattering the armada's communications turret and cutting the links that coordinate the fleet. In the chaos of battle Xur, held in the brig, finds an opportunity to break free; during transit to confinement he slips out and manages to flee in an escape pod, ejecting into the void to avoid Kril's wrath. On the bridge, Kril refuses to accept Xur's excuse and fists pound on control panels as he tries to restore order. Meanwhile Alex and Grig unleash volleys upon the Ko-Dan formation. Their standard weaponry drains the prototype's capacitors, and as the armada draws nearer Grig warns Alex that the only remaining way to stop the fleet at once is to employ the Death Blossom, a single, massive close-range barrage that the Gunstar designers reserved for desperate occasions. Grig cautions that it has never been fired in combat and that channeling that much power at once risks detonating their own ship, but Alex judges the stakes and decides they must roll the dice.

When the armada comes within range, Alex alternates normal broadsides to deplete the enemy shields while Grig diverts every possible reserve into weapons. The Ko-Dan columns steam closer, massing for the assault on Rylos. Alex engages the Death Blossom. The Gunstar unleashes a swirling, omni-directional storm of fire that cuts through the Ko-Dan hulls like a scythe. Wave after wave of enemy warships explode and tumble away, their bridges ruptured and engines shredded. The massive armada collapses into a field of burning wreckage as carriers, cruisers, and escorts vanish in the maelstrom the Death Blossom creates. Only the command ship remains intact, its mass and armor withstanding the initial onslaught.

Seeing defeat looming, Kril orders the command ship to use whatever thrust and remaining power it has to ram the Gunstar before the intruder can fire again. The command ship bears down in a suicide run. Grig reacts instantly, sending the ship's life-support power into the weapons grid so Alex can fire every possible remaining shot. They punch into the command ship's guidance systems, splintering its control circuits and destroying its navigation. With its guidance crippled, Kril's vessel streaks past them and is pulled inexorably off-course by Rylos' moon. The huge command ship tumbles out of control and plunges into the moon's gravity, striking the moon and exploding outward into a final conflagration; Lord Kril, aboard his bridge, perishes when his ship is torn apart by the moon's pull and impact. Alex and Grig watch the command ship vanish in a bloom of fire and debris. Xur's escape pod is nowhere to be seen, having slipped away earlier from the brig.

Following the destruction of the armada, Alex and Grig decelerate and set down on Rylos. They disembark to a tumultuous welcome; the planet's inhabitants and surviving Star League officers greet them as saviors, cheering and lifting them onto shoulders in triumph. On the field, Enduran, a senior Star League official, meets them and greets them plainly: the Frontier's organized defense has been broken and while the armada is routed, Xur remains at large. Enduran asks Alex to remain and help rebuild the Starfighter Legion, to train new pilots and restore the Frontier's shielded borders. At that moment, Centauri's form appears at the edge of the crowd. He explains that he did not die from his earlier wounds; instead his body went into a dormant mode that allowed internal systems to repair themselves and reboot. Centauri assures Alex that he can continue to fight and help in any rebuilding effort. After weighing the responsibilities and the opportunity to restore the Legion, Alex agrees to stay and work alongside Grig, Centauri, and Enduran.

Before Alex takes up permanent duty, he decides to return to Earth one last time. He and Grig pilot the Gunstar back to the trailer park where his family lives. The ship descends with a dramatic hum and lands among the aluminum trailers as the locals stare upward in astonishment. Alex walks down the lift, steps onto the warm gravel, and walks straight to Maggie. He kisses her, explains where he has been, and tells everyone at the trailer park about the decoy Beta and how he saved more than a hundred worlds. Grig disembarks and meets Alex's mother, his little brother Louis, Maggie's grandmother, and the other neighbors. He tells them plainly of Alex's deeds and of the hundreds of lives saved across the Frontier by the actions he and Alex took. Grig and Alex prepare to depart again; Alex confesses to Maggie that one of the main reasons he wanted to return was to give her the chance to come with him, because he cannot promise the interval until his next visit home.

Maggie hesitates, torn between staying with her grandmother and leaving with Alex into unknown space. Alex says goodbye, steps into the Gunstar's lift, and begins lifting off. Maggie rushes after him. She runs to her grandmother, asks for her blessing, and receives it. She dashes back, leaps into the lift at the last moment, and the Gunstar lifts away from Earth, engines humming, heading back into the stars. Alex embraces Maggie in the small cockpit before the ship accelerates into the black. Back on the trailer park's weathered porch, Alex's little brother Louis sits down at the arcade machine that once lured Alex from his old life and begins to play Starfighter, fingers flying over the controls as he dreams of one day joining his brother. The final image holds on the machine's glowing screen and then cuts to the Gunstar receding toward the cosmos, carrying Alex and Maggie away to the new work that awaits, while the shadow of Xur's escape and the scattered remnants of the Ko-Dan threat hang unresolved beyond the horizon.

The ending of The Last GunFight (2025) culminates in a final, brutal showdown where the rogue crew confronts the mastermind behind the deadly underground assassin tournament. The main characters fight fiercely, with some sacrificing themselves, and ultimately the mastermind is defeated. The surviving members of the crew escape, having achieved their goal of revenge and exposing the cruelty behind the tournament.

Expanding on the ending scene by scene:

The final sequence opens with the remaining members of the rogue crew--led by Nathaniel Turner (played by Jon Voight) and Steve (Adam Woodward)--preparing for the last round of the tournament. The atmosphere is tense, with the crowd of wealthy spectators dressed in lavish attire, eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the bloodbath. The tournament's final challenge involves close-quarters combat with blades, a shift from the earlier gunfights, raising the stakes and forcing the assassins into brutal hand-to-hand combat.

As the round begins, Nathaniel and Steve coordinate with their allies, including Trudy, Peter, and Jimmy, each playing a critical role in the plan to take down Anton Skoll, the tournament's ruthless mastermind. The fight is chaotic and violent, with betrayals and shifting alliances as the assassins turn on each other. Nathaniel's group uses their inside knowledge and teamwork to survive the onslaught, but not without losses. Jimmy, initially seen as a sacrificial pawn, reveals unexpected skill and resilience, surviving several deadly encounters.

During the climax, Nathaniel confronts Anton Skoll directly. Their duel is intense and personal, reflecting the deep-seated vendetta Nathaniel holds against Skoll for orchestrating the tournament and the suffering it has caused. The fight is gritty and raw, with both men sustaining injuries. Ultimately, Nathaniel gains the upper hand and kills Skoll, ending his reign of cruelty.

Meanwhile, Steve reconnects emotionally with his ex, Ella Talbot, amidst the chaos, highlighting the human cost of the tournament and the personal stakes involved. The surviving crew members--Nathaniel, Steve, Trudy, Peter, and Jimmy--regroup and make their escape as the tournament collapses into disorder. The police, who have tacitly allowed the games to continue, arrive too late to stop the crew's departure.

The film closes with the survivors reflecting on their victory and the heavy price paid. Nathaniel, though victorious, is marked by loss and the burden of revenge fulfilled. Steve's reunion with Ella offers a glimmer of hope amid the darkness. The ending underscores the themes of survival, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of power and wealth, as the underground tournament is exposed but the cycle of violence hinted to continue.

In terms of character fates:

• Nathaniel Turner survives, having killed the mastermind Anton Skoll.
• Steve survives and reunites with Ella Talbot.
• Jimmy, initially underestimated, survives the final round.
• Trudy and Peter also survive, having played key roles in the plan.
• Anton Skoll, the mastermind, is killed by Nathaniel.
• Other participants in the tournament mostly perish during the final brutal combat.

This detailed ending highlights the film's focus on revenge, survival, and the dark underbelly of a society entertained by deadly games.

The movie titled The Last GunFight (2025) does not have any publicly documented post-credit scene based on the available search results. The information about the film focuses on its plot involving a ruthless underground tournament of assassins and a rogue crew trying to take down the mastermind behind it, but there is no mention of a post-credit scene in the trailer or related sources. Additionally, general lists and discussions of post-credit scenes from 2025 films do not include The Last GunFight.

Therefore, it appears that The Last GunFight does not feature a post-credit scene.

Steve, played by Adam Woodward, is a key participant in the deadly underground tournament. He joins a team with the shared goal of infiltrating the competition to seek revenge. Throughout the film, Steve is portrayed as badass, cool, stylish, and kind, which draws the audience to his character. He also has a romantic subplot involving reconnecting with his ex during the games, adding depth to his role.

The mastermind behind the tournament is the antagonist played by Ziga, known for roles in Eyes Wide Shut and Mission Impossible 2. This character orchestrates the brutal underground tournament where assassins fight to the death. The rogue crew infiltrates the competition to take down this mastermind, who is pulling the strings behind the deadly games.

The tournament consists of multiple rounds, each featuring different weapons and new challenges. These rounds feel like game levels with weapon upgrades, increasing the stakes and difficulty for participants. Spectators bet on who will survive each round, and the body count rises as the tournament progresses. The challenges test the assassins' skills and survival instincts continuously.

Alliances in the tournament are fluid and shift frequently as participants vie for survival and revenge. The rogue crew's infiltration adds layers of treachery and double-crossing, with multiple agents and double or triple agents complicating the narrative. These shifting alliances create tension and unpredictability in who can be trusted.

A hidden object within the tournament is crucial because discovering it can end the deadly game. This element adds a layer of mystery and urgency to the competition, motivating participants to not only survive but also seek this object. The search for the hidden object drives much of the plot's suspense and strategic maneuvering among the characters.
