Summaries

Plot Summary

Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) is an Amazon princess, demigoddess, daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus, and the half-sister of Ares. In the present day, she lives in Paris, France working as the curator for the Louvre's Department of Antiquities, while moonlighting as the super-heroine referred to as "Wonder Woman". She receives a World War I-era photographic plate couriered by Wayne Enterprises and recalls her past.Diana was born and raised on the hidden island of Themyscira, home to the Amazon race of warrior women created by the gods of Mount Olympus to protect humankind. In the distant past, the gods ruled the Earth and Zeus was the King of the gods. Zeus created beings over which the gods ruled, beings born in his image such as fair, good, strong and compassionate. He called his creation Mankind. Ares (David Thewlis), the god of war, and Zeus' son, got jealous of mankind and sought to corrupt his father's creation. Ares filled the man's heart with jealousy and suspicion and turned them against each other, which led to war. The gods created the Amazons to influence men's hearts with love and restore peace on Earth. But the Amazons were enslaved by men. The Queen of the Amazons led a revolt for their freedom. Zeus led the gods to their defense.Ares slew all his fellow gods, but his father, Zeus, struck him down with his last weapon. Ares was forced to retreat, but Zeus knew that Ares would return one day. He creates the island of Amazonia where Zeus hopes that Ares would never be able to find his creation. Ares wanted an endless war where mankind would finally destroy itself.Before succumbing from his injuries, Zeus left the Amazons a weapon capable of killing his renegade son: the "Godkiller", which Diana believes to be a ceremonial sword. Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), Diana's mother, believes that Ares will never return and forbids Diana from training as a warrior, but Diana and her aunt, General Antiope (Robin Wright), defy the queen and begin training in secret. When the two are discovered by Hippolyta, Antiope convinces her sister to allow Diana's training to continue. Antiope argues that Ares is alive and is only a matter of time before he returns and it is their duty to train Diana to defend herself and to face Ares, should the need arise. Hippolyta says that the stronger Diana is, the sooner Ares would find her. Hippolyta agrees to let Antiope train her but says that Diana should never learn the truth about who she is and how she came to be.As a young woman in 1918, Diana completes her training in a trial test, where she defeats Antiope by bringing together her magical bracelets in the form of an X, which unleashes a powerful force that takes Diana by surprise. Diana rescues American pilot Captain Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) after his plane crashes off the coast of Themyscira. The island is soon invaded by the landing party of a German cruiser pursuing Steve. The Amazons engage and kill all the German sailors, but Antiope dies intercepting a bullet meant for Diana. The Amazons were fighting with bows and arrows and facing machine guns from the Germans and took heavy losses. Diana saw the carnage of war for the very first time.Steve is interrogated with the Lasso of Hestia and reveals that a great war is consuming the outside world and that he is an Allied spy. He has stolen a notebook from the Germans' chief chemist, Dr. Isabel Maru (Elena Anaya), who is attempting to engineer a deadlier form of mustard gas under the orders of General Erich Ludendorff (Danny Huston) from a weapon facility in the Ottoman Empire. Believing Ares is responsible for the war, Diana arms herself with the ceremonial sword and leaves Themyscira with Steve to find and destroy Ares.When the two arrive in London, they deliver Maru's notebook to the Supreme War Council, including Sir Patrick Morgan (David Thewlis), who is trying to negotiate an armistice with Germany. Diana translates Maru's notes and reveals that the Germans plan to release the deadly gas at the war-front.Although forbidden by his commanders to act, Steve, with secret funding from Sir Patrick, recruits spy Sameer (Said Taghmaoui) a French Moroccan con artist and secret agent, marksman Charlie (Ewen Bremner) a heavy-drinking Scottish sharpshooter who has PTSD from a previous tour of duty, and smuggler Chief (Eugene Brave Rock) a Native American smuggler who trades with both sides of the war and knows how to get people across the front lines, to help prevent the gas from being released.When the team reaches the Western Front in Belgium, they are halted by the enemy line, but Diana pushes alone through No man's land and rallies the Allied forces behind her to liberate the village of Veld. The team briefly celebrates and takes the group photograph from the beginning of the film. Later that night, Diana and Steve bond and share a kiss.The team learns that a gala will be held at the nearby German High Command. Steve infiltrates the party, intending to locate the mustard gas and destroy it. Diana, however, believes Ludendorff is Ares and that killing him will end the war. Steve stops her to avoid jeopardizing the mission. Ludendorff unleashes the gas on Veld, killing its inhabitants. Diana blames Steve for intervening and pursues Ludendorff to a base where the gas is being loaded into a Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI bound for London. Diana fights and kills Ludendorff, who was physically enhanced by another of Maru's gases, but is confused when his death does not stop the war.Sir Patrick appears and reveals himself as Ares. He tells Diana that although he has subtly given humans ideas and inspirations, it is ultimately their decision to cause violence as they are inherently corrupt. After destroying the ceremonial sword, Ares tells Diana she is the true "Godkiller", as she is the daughter of Zeus. Ares tries to persuade Diana to help him destroy humankind to restore paradise on Earth. While the two battle and the rest of Steve's team destroy Maru's laboratory, Steve pilots the bomber carrying the gas to a safe altitude and detonates it, sacrificing himself in the process. Ares tries to harness Diana's rage and grief at Steve's death by convincing her to kill Maru, but Diana's memories of Steve inspire her to decide that humans have good within them, and she spares Maru before destroying Ares. Back in London, the nation celebrates the end of the war.In the present day, Diana sends an e-mail to Bruce Wayne thanking him for the photographic plate of her and Steve and reaffirms her mission to protect the world as Wonder Woman.

Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when a pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers and her true destiny. — ahmetkozan When army pilot Steve Trevor crashes on the warriors' secluded island paradise, disrupting the fictitious all-female sanctuary of Themyscira created by the Gods of Olympus, Princess Diana of the immortal Amazons aids for his rescue and wins the decisive right to escort him home, heading to an early 20th Century London to stop the war she believes is influenced by the God Ares. Leaving behind the only life she's ever known and entering the cynical world of men for the first time, torn between a mission to promote peace and her own warrior upbringing, as a "Wonder Woman," Diana must fight evil in a "war to end all wars," while hoping to unlock the potential of a humanity she doesn't always understand. — Asif Ahsan Khan Before she was Wonder Woman she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, a trained warrior in the sheltered Amazon island of Themyscira. In 1918, when the American pilot Steve Trevor crashes offshore and tells Diana about World War I and the conflict in the outside world, she leaves home to embark on a journey to end all wars, discovering her full powers and true destiny. — Tiffany Adachi Isolated from men and the entire human race, the highly trained pacifist and magnificent Amazon warrior-princess, Diana of the mystical Themyscira, leads a disciplined but peaceful and safe life in the bosom of her fierce tribe of elite fighters. However, Diana's cocooned world will turn upside down, when the intrepid American pilot and the first man ever to set foot on the idyllic island, Steve Trevor, reveals a horrible reality, as a devastating great war threatens to consume humankind. At the height of WWI, the unlikely duo embark on a perilous mission to do battle with an all-powerful adversary, in an all-out war that will end all wars.
