PLOT
Thousands of years ago, Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons attempt to conquer and reimagine Earth through the combined energies of the Mother Boxes before they are all foiled by a unified army that included the Olympian Gods, Amazons, Atlanteans, humans and Green Lanterns. After repelling Steppenwolf's army, the Mother Boxes are separated and hidden in locations around the world.
In the present, the world is in mourning following the death of Superman. This triggers Steppenwolf and his Parademons to return to planet Earth in an effort to resume their hunt for the Mother Boxes through kidnappings of several employees of S.T.A.R Labs, which is in possession of one of them. Having investigated the kidnappings and encountered with a Parademon himself, billionaire vigilante Bruce Wayne has decided to move forward in recruiting his planned team of metahumans as he believes a catastrophic threat is coming.
Steppenwolf succesfully retrieves the Mother Box from Themyscira, prompting Queen Hippolyta to warn her daughter Diana Prince. Prince joins Bruce Wayne in his attempt to unite the other metahumans, and informs him about the history of Steppenwolf and the Mother Boxes. The two of them fail to persuade the Atlantean Arthur Curry and Victor Stone, but manage to recruit a young man named Barry Allen into the team. Stone later joins the group after his father, Silas, is kidnapped, and Curry also joins in after Steppenwolf decides to attack Atlantis to retrieve the second Mother Box, forcing Curry to take action.
The team receives Intel from the Commissioner James Gordon that the Parademons are travelling underground, and concludes that Steppenwolf's army is baaed in an abandoned facility under Gotham's Harbour. Although the group manages to rescue the kidnapped employees, the facility is flooded during combat, which traps the team until Curry helps in delaying the flood so they can escape. Stone retrieves the last Mother Box from S.T.A.R. Labs which he had hidden, for the team to analyse. Wayne decides to use the Mother Box to resurrect Superman not only to help them fight Steppenwolf's army but also to restore hope in humanity. Prince and Curry are hesitant about the idea, but Wayne forms a contingency plan in case Superman returns as a nemesis.
Clark Kent's body is exhumed and placed in the waters of the ship, and Allen provides a strong energy blast to activate the Mother Box via his speed power, causing the resurrection of Superman. Superman, however, possesses few memories, and he attacks the group after Stone accidentally launches a projectile at him. On the verge of being killed by Superman, Batman enacts his contingency plan: Lois Lane. Superman regains his love for Lois and leaves with her to his family home in Smallville, where he reflects and tries to recover his lost memories. With the last Mother Box unguarded, Steppenwolf retrieves it with ease.
Without Superman to aid them, the remaining five heroes travel to a village in Russia where Steppenwolf wishes to unite the three Mother Boxes once again and re-imagine Earth for his superior and nephew, Darkseid. The team fights their way through the Parademons to reach Steppenwolf during the ensuing, lengthy and destructive battle, although they are unable to distract him enough for Stone to separate the Mother Boxes. Superman arrives and assists Allen in evacuating the civilians, as well as Stone in separating the Mother Boxes. The united heroes manage to defeat Steppenwolf after a fight, who, overcome with fear, is attacked by his own Parademons, before they are all beamed back to their home planet, Apokolips.
In the aftermath of the battle, Wayne decides to rebuild Wayne Manor as base of operations for the team and he and Prince agree that more potential heroes could join in the roster. Prince steps back into the public spotlight as a hero; Allen manages to acquire a job in Central City's police department, impressing his father, Stone continues to explore and enhance his abilities with his father at S.T,A.R Labs; Currt returns to Atlantis; and Kent resumes his role as Superman.
In the mid-credits scene, Flash and Superman decide to race to the Pacific coast to see who is the fastest. In the post-credits scene, Lex Luthor has escaped from Arkham Asylum and recruits bounty hunter Slade Wilson to form their own league.
