In antiquity Zeus created man to respect and pray to the gods; but Ares, son of Zeus and god of war, instilled negative feelings in humanity, which initiated conflicts and divisions among peoples; to remedy Zeus he created the Amazons, women capable of fighting but also of living peacefully, and sent them to humanity to teach peace and harmony. Ares was so furious that he killed the other gods. Zeus, left alone, finally defeated his rebellious son, but he could not kill him; so he left the Amazons two gifts before dying: the island of Themyscira, where warrior women live peacefully hidden from the world, and a weapon capable of killing Ares if and when he ever returned.

Time after the little princess Diana, daughter of Queen Hippolyte, sovereign of the Amazons, lives with her sisters on Themyscira, longing to become strong like them, but the mother constantly rejects the wishes of the little girl, who is secretly trained by Antiope, Hippolyte’s sister and army leader. Become an adult, one day Diana witnesses the ditching of Captain Steve Trevor, saving him. A group of German soldiers disembarks to his search, engaging in battle with the Amazons who reject them, albeit at the cost of several losses including Antiope herself, who on her death urges Diana to follow the fate of the Amazons and kill Ares. Trevor is interrogated by Ippolita with the Lasso di Estia, an indestructible golden string that obliges anyone to tell the truth, and reveals that he is an American spy who must bring to London the plans of a new and more deadly mustard gas, created by Dr. Isabel Maru, known as “Dr. Poison”, for the German general Erich Ludendorff.

The story of the massacres of the Great War upsets many Amazons including Diana, who considers all the work of Ares, who came to finish his work. The night Diana flees together with Trevor and against the opinion of the mother, taking with him the Lasso of Estia and the sword Ammazzadei able to kill Ares. Hippolyte reaches them before they leave, but decides to let go of her daughter, knowing that it is useless to try to restrain her. Arriving in London, the two handed the diary of Dr. Maru to the English command, but the officers denied permission to proceed with any action. Steve decides to accompany Diana to the front as well and recruits three men to help them: the North African handyman Sameer, the Scottish sharpshooter Charlie and the Native American smuggler called the Chief. Sir Patrick Morgan, present at the council of officers on the delivery of the diary, also goes ahead and finances the company in an unofficial manner, praising his courage.

The group goes through the desolate war scenes and reaches the front, where the soldiers in the trenches have been stopped for a year; Diana refuses to circumvent her and charges the enemy frontally, inspiring her allied comrades and soldiers, breaking down enemy lines and freeing the neighboring country; here is taken the famous photo with the five posing. Soon it turns out that Ludendorff wants to overturn the fate of the war with the use of mustard gas and Diana shows his intentions to kill him, because he believes that the officer is actually Ares, sure that his influence will be broken at his death and men will rediscover the reason; yet Sir Patrick orders them not to kill him, because that would compromise the armistice. Diana and Steve ignore the order and sneak into a gala evening organized by Ludendorff, but they can not stop it before demonstrating the weapon on the village they had just freed, killing all its inhabitants. Diana, furious because Steve has prevented her from killing Ludendorff and therefore, to save all those lives, rushes in pursuit of the German officer, finally managing to kill him; however nothing changes and the war seems to continue unchanged.

Steve joins her by explaining that he has never believed in the existence of Ares and that humanity has always been like that, then tries to stop a bomber that is about to leave to attack London with the help of Sameer, Charlie and the Chief. While Diana is still incredulous about what happened, it appears Sir Patrick Morgan, who reveals to her that he is Ares and explains that humanity has always been selfish and destructive, and he has merely given some impetus and some ideas; when the Ammazzadei crashes against him, he reveals to her that the real Ammazzadei is she, as daughter of Zeus and Ippolita, and consequently a semid, the only one capable of killing him. Meanwhile, Steve gets on the plane, hijacks and sacrifices himself, making him explode at high altitude to prevent a massacre on the ground. Diana, heartbroken by the death of Steve, frees all her power, while Ares, happy with his fury, invites her to join him. But Diana, thanks to Steve’s heroic gesture, understands that humans have not only darkness within them, but they are also capable of being good and generous, so you can hope for them. Eventually Diana kills Ares; with his death the fighting ceases and the armistice is signed. In contemporary times Diana thanks Bruce Wayne with an e-mail, confirming his purpose to protect everyone’s life.
