Diana grows to be even more powerful than any other warrior, defending her people from the outside world, until an American Explorer Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) discovers the land while undercover with a group of German Soldiers set on destroying everything.
Smitten, Diana returns with Steve to discover a war beyond all wars which Diana has been training for all her life as she finally finds her ultimate destiny as God killer.
