DC Cinematic Universe: Wonder Woman 1984
YOUTUBE:[]
PLOT:[]
As a young girl, Diana Prince competes in a multi stage athletic competition on Themyscira against older Amazons. After being disqualified for trying to take a shortcut during the competition, Diana's mother, Queen Hippolyta, and her aunt Antiope lecture her on the importance of truth.
In 1984, decades after the events of World War I, Diana works as a senior anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., specializing in the culture of ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Diana continues to fight crime as Wonder Woman, albeit while trying to maintain some anonymity. Diana meets a new co-worker, Barbara Ann Minerva, an insecure woman who idolizes Diana and tries to befriend her.
Aspiring businessman Maxwell Lord visits the Smithsonian in search of a mysterious Dreamstone which seemingly grants wishes upon contact with any user. Both Diana and Barbara unknowingly use the stone to fulfill their own desires: Diana wishes for her deceased lover, Steve Trevor, causing his soul to manifest and take over another man's body in the real world; Barbara wishes to become strong and beautiful like Diana. During a gala night at the Smithsonian, Maxwell manipulates Barbara in order to acquire the stone. He then wishes to become the embodiment of the stone and gains its power to grant wishes, while also able to take whatever he desires from others.
Over the next few days, Maxwell rises to become a powerful influential figure, while leaving chaos and destruction in his wake. Barbara, Diana and Steve try to investigate the Dreamstone's power further, and discover it was created by the God of Treachery and Mischief; the stone grants a user their wish but takes their most cherished possession in return, and the only way to reverse the condition is by renouncing their wish, or destroying the stone itself. Steve realizes that his existence comes at the cost of Diana's power. Both Diana and Barbara are unwilling to renounce their wishes, and try to figure out another solution.
Maxwell, upon learning from the U.S. President of a satellite broadcast system that can transmit signals globally, decides to use it to communicate to the entire world, offering to grant their wishes. Barbara joins forces with Maxwell in order to prevent Diana from harming him. Steve convinces Diana to let him go and renounce her wish, regaining her strength. She returns home and dons the armor of the legendary Amazon warrior Asteria, then heads to the broadcast station and battles Barbara, who has made another wish with Maxwell to become an apex predator, transforming her into a cheetah-woman. After defeating Barbara, Diana confronts Maxwell and uses her Lasso of Truth to communicate with the world via him, convincing everyone to renounce their wishes. She also shows Maxwell a vision of his son, Alistair, wandering the street as chaos ensues from his fulfillment of everyone's desires. Maxwell then renounces his wish and returns home to reunite with his son.
Some time later, Diana meets the man whose body Steve was inhabiting, while she continues to protect the world. In a mid-credit scene, Asteria is revealed to be alive and living among humanity in secret, much like Diana.
