Steve Trevor crashes offshore of the island and is rescued by her, he tells the Amazons about the ongoing
World War. Diana then leaves her home in order to end the conflict, becoming Wonder Woman in the process.
While development for the film began in 1996, Jenkins signed on to direct in 2015. Principal photography began on November 21, 2015, with filming taking place in the United Kingdom, France, and Italy before wrapping up on May 9, 2016, the 123rd birthday of the creator,
William Moulton Marston. Additional filming took place in November 2016.
Wonder Woman premiered in Shanghai on May 15, 2017, and was released in the United States on June 2, 2017, in 2D, 3D, and
IMAX 3D. It received largely positive reviews, with critics praising the direction, performances, action sequences and musical score. It set numerous box office records, including becoming the highest-grossing film directed by a woman, the biggest domestic opening for a film directed by a woman, and the largest opening for a female-led comic book movie. It has grossed over $779 million worldwide, making it the
fourth highest-grossing film of 2017. It also helped the DCEU to push past $3 billion at the worldwide box office, making it the
seventeenth highest-grossing film franchise of all time.
In present-day Paris,
Diana Prince receives a
photographic plate of her during
World War I, which prompts her to recall her past. The daughter of
Queen Hippolyta, Diana was raised on the hidden island of
Themyscira, home to the
Amazonian race of warrior women created by
Zeus to protect mankind. As a young child, Diana wants nothing more than to train like the rest of her people. Hippolyta shares the Amazonian history with Diana, including how
Ares became jealous of mankind and worked to orchestrate its destruction. When the rest of the gods from
Mount Olympus attempt to stop him, Ares kills all but Zeus, who manages to hurt Ares enough to force a retreat. Before succumbing to his wounds, Zeus leaves the Amazons a weapon, the "Godkiller" in a form of a ceremonial sword, in case Ares should ever return.
Initially forbidding Diana to train, Hippolyta agrees to allow her sister
Antiope to train Diana, so long as she trains her harder than any other warrior in the army. As a young woman in 1918, Diana rescues American pilot Captain
Steve Trevor after his plane crashes off Themyscira's coast. The island is soon invaded by a
Germancruiser pursuing Steve. The Amazons engage and kill all of the German sailors, but Antiope sacrifices herself to save Diana. Interrogated with the
Lasso of Hestia, Steve reveals that a war is raging in the outside world, and that he is an
Allied spy. He has stolen a notebook with valuable information from the Spanish chief chemist
Isabel Maru, who is attempting to engineer a deadlier form of
mustard gas under the orders of General
Erich Ludendorff from a weapons facility in the
Ottoman empire. Believing Ares is responsible for the war, Diana arms herself with the "Godkiller" sword, the Lasso of Hestia, and armor before leavings 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, 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 warfront. Although forbidden by his commanders to act, Steve, with secret funding from Sir Patrick, recruits spy Sameer, marksman Charlie, and smuggler Chief to help prevent the gas from being released. When the team reaches the
Western Front in
Belgium, they are halted by the enemy lines. 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, while Diana and Steve grow closer romantically.
The team learns a gala will be held at the nearby
German High Command. Steve and Diana each infiltrate the party, he intending to locate the gas and destroy it, she intending to kill Ludendorff, believing he 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 bomber aircraft bound for London. Diana fights and kills Ludendorff but is confused when his death does not stop the war.
Sir Patrick appears, revealing himself as Ares and 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. Ares destroys the sword, revealing Diana as the true "Godkiller", and Zeus' daughter. Ares fails to persuade Diana to help him destroy humankind to restore paradise on Earth. While the two battle, 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 attempts to harness Diana's rage and grief at Steve's death by convincing her to kill Maru, but her memories of Steve cause her to decide that humans have good within them. She spares Maru and kills Ares.
Later in
Trafalgar Square, the team 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.
