Plot
In present-day Paris, Diana Prince receives a photographic plate from Wayne Enterprises taken during World War I. It shows herself and four men, and prompts her to recall her past.
Diana, the young daughter of Queen Hippolyta, is raised on the hidden island of Themyscira, home to the Amazons, women warriors created by the Olympian gods to protect mankind. Hippolyta tells Diana the story of how Ares became jealous of humans and orchestrated their destruction. When the other gods attempted to stop him, Ares killed all but Zeus, who used the last of his power to wound Ares and force his retreat. Before dying, Zeus left the Amazons a weapon, the "god-killer", to prepare them for Ares' return. Seeking to protect Diana, Hippolyta hides her daughter's true origin from her, but reluctantly agrees to let her sister, Antiope, train Diana as a warrior.
In 1918, an adult Diana rescues US pilot Steve Trevor when his plane crashes off the coast of Themyscira. The island is soon invaded by German soldiers, who had been pursuing Trevor. The Amazons suffer some casualties, but wipe out the German landing force, with Antiope sacrificing herself to save Diana.
