Plot:
The film opens with Hippolyta telling a young Diana about the Great War between the Atlantans and the Amazons. She explains to her that the fought over an ancient relic the Spear of Entity.
She explains the Spear belonged to the God Poseidon the original ruler of Atlantis. The Spear was given to Zeus who in turn gave it to Hecate, and she used it to harness her most powerful spells and bestow the gift of magic to others.
Hippolyta tells Diana the King of the Atlantis,(prior to Aquaman’s Mother) wanted the Amazons to give him the spear back, and when they declined the war started. One of Hecate’s followers named Circe betrayed the Amazons and stolen the Spear draining it of its powers making her a wicked and powerful sorceress.
The Amazons and Atlantans waged war on her and with assistance from dying Hecate herself Circe was bashed to the island of Aiaia.
Years Later Diana stops a group of terrorist from unleashing a bio weapon at the White House, after she is thanked by Agent Steve Trevor who informs her the President sends his thanks.
On the island of Themyscira multiple Amazons are training, and Hippolyta watch over them when her sister Antiope calls to her and asks her to talk about her sorrows. Just then a large red and black burst of fires shoots through the force field around the island and crashes into the heart of the it. Circe emerges from the smoke and brimstone and demand the Amazons obey her commands.
Antiope orders the Amazons to attack the traitor who create an army of undead Greek soldiers to attack them, she vanishes in red smoke and reappears before Hippolyta, she demand she tell her the location of the Spear so she can free her soul.
Hippolyta refuses and the two fight with Circe uses her powers to overthrow the Queen. Antiope uses an arrow that pierces Circe’s arm, shocked that a weapon was able to hurt her she vows to return to kill them once she finds the Spear and leaves. Antiope reveals the arrow was dosed in Moly the only herb and known physical item able to hurt the Witch.
The Amazons send a message to Diana, though Hippolyta is unsure if she’ll be able to return home.
Seeing the message Diana turns to her friend Dr. Sandsmark to see if she can help her return home.
She reveals she had an item that is Amazonian but isn’t sure how it can help her.
Diana returns to Steve Trevor’s office to ask for his help, Steve show’s Diana a prototype of a Military jet that is said to be one of the fastest, as a token of thanks. She asks him what’s the catch to which he tells her this isn’t one. She thanks him for his help and he asks her about the artifact. She tells him it’s from her home but asks him if he can look into the location of the Spear.
Combining the artifact with the mainframe of the jet it enhances it and gives it the ability to turn invisible and travel through any dimension Diana can think of. She uses it and arrives back to Themyscira.
Diana is told the rest of the story she learned as a child and just how powerful Circe is and how just how much more she can be if she recovers the Spear.
Before leaving Hippolyta gives Diana two items,the Armor of Amazon and the Shield of Athena. She tells her to combine these item with the God Slayer sword Athena gave her to stop Circe, but Diana tells her Mother she hopes to not kill and find another. Her Mother tells her she lost hope for Circe centuries ago but if anyone can stop her it’ll be Diana.
Steve is able to have a small team locate the Spear and joins the group to retrieve it from an inhabited island off the coast of Rome.
Circe has already learned the location and sends her minions to kill the group of troops.
Hippolyta tells her she is happy to see her again, and she tells Diana she hopes whatever brought her back to her she prays to the Gods she can see her again. And with that Diana boards her Jet and heads off to help Steve.
Most of Steve’s team is murder and he’s running through the jungle unable to kill Circe’s minions. She calls to him like a Siren and nearly lures him to his death until Diana uses her shield to stop Circe’s minions from attack.
She summons for her sword which appears from magic and uses it to destroy the magical minions.
Steve tells her the coordinates and the two enter inside an old temple for the Spear, the two find Circe who has it in her possession and finds it to be a fake, she has a vanish of the real on which is guarded by the Atlantans.
Circe caused the caves to collapse and vanishs, Diana get Steven out in time and the she must find Circe before she finds the real Spear.
Aquaman enters to a temple outside of the city that is guarded and we see Circe appear inside. Atlantans, Aquaman and Circe battle inside the temple.
Wonder Woman bursts inside and knocks Circe away from striking Aquaman, he asks her is she a friend of hers and she denies but tells him she must not get inside the temple.
The two have an epic battle with Circe who is wounded by Diana’s sword. She uses her powers to create a hex to and tells Diana she must choose to stop her or help her friend.
Circe escapes with the real Spear and Wonder Woman uses her Lasso to exile the hex from Aquaman. She tells him about Circe and he tells her that some people are above being saved, but that some people also just need to be save from themselves.
Circe returns to D.C. and drains the remaining powers from the Spear.
Diana drops down from her jet and tells Circe it ends now.
The two have a destructive and bloody battle that Wonder Woman nearly loses. But thinking about her mother, her friends, and Steve she thinks about something Circe has never had. Love.
She gets her second wind and uses her Lasso she is able to stop Circe. The Lasso cannot force Circe to tell the truth but Diana is able to talk to her and make her realize that taking all the power in the world cannot feel what Circe is missing most.
Circe is furious but tells the Amazon she is wise beyond her years, even wiser than most of the Gods.
Circe tells Diana that all she ever knew was power, she never knew anything else.
Diana tells her she must expel the power of the Spear or it could kill her. Circe spats at her and tells her she has been vested but Diana will not win in the long run.
Circe vows that she will kill Diana, and will destroy Man’s World. Circe vanishes in red smoke.
Diana feels sad that she couldn’t save her but Steve arrives and tells her she did the one thing other warriors never did and that was offer her companion, and the chance to be heard. He tells her only she can give someone that.
In the last scene Diana is on the shores of Themyscira and Hippolyta comes to her and they talk and she tells her she’s proud of her, she could have easily killed Circe which is what most would have done but Diana isn’t like most. She stronger, faster, but most of all she had compassion for those who cannot fight and will always help everyone weather they feel they are worthy or not. The two walk farther down the shore and Hippolyta hugs her daughter one last time before she boards her jet and flies back to Man’s World.

how would you describe arrowfamily in canon? Cause i have seen conflicting things ranging from "Oliver Queen is a terrible horrible person" to "canon arrowfamily is what people think batfam should be like/if you want fanon batfam you want canon arrowfam" and it is confusing
Disclaimer first. A full, proper, arrowfam read-through is next on my list once I finally catch up with the bats, but I haven't gotten there yet. I have still read a whole bunch of comics, and by virtue of how the DC universe works, I've seen a fair bit of the arrows scattered throughout. (In particular, I've read a lot of Roy via Titans and Outsiders.)
So I can give a broad strokes answer here, but I'm not going to try to claim a deep meta analysis of the arrows yet.
I think the quickest way to explain the contradictory information is this:
batfam fans take up most of the space in DC fandom
for whatever reason, it has become highly popular bat fanon to use Oliver Queen as a scapegoat Designated Terrible Dad to show how much better and cooler and nicer Bruce is.
This is not a fair or accurate depiction of Ollie.
(Nor, for that matter, an accurate depiction of Bruce, but that fanon diversion is intentional and less like throwing shrapnel at a guy who isn't even part of this.)
People who actually read comics and like Ollie therefore try to push back on this extreme and ooc demonization of him, and also vaunt the arrows in general.
Said pushback is sometimes an exaggerated overcompensation.
Basically, no, Oliver Queen is not a terrible horrible person, nor even a terrible horrible father.
And I would say the canon arrows are a lot closer to what fans are desperately trying to find (or just make up) in the bats. There are various things that are true of the canon arrows/Ollie and of the fanon bats/Bruce that are not true of the canon bats/Bruce. [All post-crisis disclaimer.] Examples:
Ollie is outspokenly liberal and this is a well accepted piece of his canon characterization. (Meanwhile DC writers try very very hard to make Bruce Totally Apolitical and therefore acceptable to all readers. Not that anything is ever actually apolitical.)
Ollie also hates cops! And rich people! For a significant chunk of comics, he lost his fortune and was better off for it, realizing he could never be truly good if he were still a billionaire.
The common fan argument about how Bruce totally isn't abusive; he's a good dad who's just been written that way once or twice by bad writers is...actually not that far off from describing Ollie? He hit Roy once in a comic about How Not To Respond To Addiction; in another comic he was revealed to have secretly known about and abandoned Conner, despite this not lining up with previous comics showing how he really wanted to be a dad. Both of these things are canon and bad, no doubt! But he is also usually a lot better, and has shown an ability to grow and change. (Meanwhile canon Bruce just has a consistent pattern of abuse.)
Subjective, but Ollie seems to really think of himself as a father and delight in it in a way that Bruce just kinda...doesn't.
All the arrows, from what I can tell, actually like each other.
They don't try to murder each other either.
But, as you surely notice, being closer to batfanon desires doesn't mean the arrows literally are the fanon batfam. Like the bats, they are not a perfect model nuclear family (nor should they be!). They too have had conflict and dysfunction (Roy and Oliver stopped talking for a significant period of time!). And they do indeed exist in a comic book world driven by crime and superheroics and conflict, not a fluffy fanfiction world driven by comfort and interpersonal reassurances. (This is not a dunk on fanfic, which I love, just a reminder).
so tl;dr, the arrows aren't a perfectly fluffy fanon family either...but if you see a batfam fan throwing Ollie/other arrows under the bus to make their fave look better, that is definitely bullshit.
