As the fourth film released under DC Extended Universe, Wonder Woman has received critical acclaim and has been a massive box office success, grossing $412 million worldwide.
The film follows the story of Diana, the Amazon princess from Themyscira who joins the front line of World War I to fulfill her mission of defeating Ares, the God of War. As part of an intelligence mission with the British army, she uses all her strength to stop the raging war that is destroying innocent lives. Together, they must stop the German army from unleashing a deadly gas bomb.
Diana has been practicing war skills with her Amazon tribe from an early age. Her mother, Queen Hippolyta, did not allow her to receive training from General Antiope, the most skilled Amazon warrior and Diana’s aunt. But later, Hippolyta allows Diana to train with her aunt while also sharing the story of their tribe’s creation by Zeus to protect humanity. Ares, the god of war, rebelled against the other gods and killed them all, except Zeus, who entrusted his people with a “god-killer.”
Years later, when Diana becomes a skilled warrior, she rescues a pilot who has crashed into their territory. As they are being attacked by the German army, Diana decides to join hands with the pilot Steve Trevor to stop the impending doom. Armed with a lasso, shield, and a “god-killer” sword, Diana embarks on a dangerous mission to stop the evil plan of General Ludendorff with the help of Steve and other allies.
