Storyline

In 1984, after saving the world in Wonder Woman (2017), the immortal Amazon warrior, Princess Diana of Themyscira, finds herself trying to stay under the radar, working as an archaeologist at the Smithsonian Museum. With the memory of the brave U.S. pilot, Captain Steve Trevor, etched on her mind, Diana Prince becomes embroiled in a sinister conspiracy of global proportions when a transparent, golden-yellow citrine gemstone catches the eye of the power-hungry entrepreneur, Maxwell Lord. Now, as a dear old friend from the past miraculously enters the picture, and Barbara Minerva, Diana's insecure gemologist colleague gives in to desire, suddenly, deceit, greed, and false promises catapult Maxwell into the limelight. More and more, cataclysmic events push the world to the brink, and emotionally vulnerable Diana must address a cruel dilemma. Can mighty Wonder Woman save humankind once again?

Goofs

The morning or afternoon before Steve and Diana fly to Egypt, Barbara and several co-workers are shown at their Smithsonian offices. Later it is shown that that day is July 4th. While the Smithsonian would be open for visitors to view exhibits, the behind-the-scenes employees would not be at work on a federal holiday. Similarly, Stagg Industries is shown that same day as being open for normal business when it ought to have been closed in observance of Independence Day.

Quotes

[first lines]
Diana Prince: Some days, my childhood feels so very far away. And others, I can almost see it: the magical land of my youth, like a beautiful dream of when the whole world felt like a promise... and the lessons that lay ahead yet, unseen. Looking back, I wish I'd listened, wish I'd watched more closely and understood. But sometimes, you can't see what you're learning until you come out the other side.
