In the aftermath of Superman's death, intergalactic conqueror Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds) arrives on Earth, attacks the island of Themyscira and steals the Mother Box, an ancient artifact guarded by the Amazons. Queen Hypolita (Connie Nielsen) alerts her daughter, Diana Prince (Gal Gadot), who travels to Gotham City to ask Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) for help. Bruce has had visions of an impending alien invasion and is investigating the kidnappings of several scientists from S.T.A.R. Labs by Steppenwolf's enforcers, the Parademons. Diana reveals that Steppenwolf attempted to subjugate Earth once before, but was defeated by an alliance between humans, Themyscira, Atlantis, the Green Lantern Corps and the Old Gods. His secret weapon, three powerful Mother Boxes, were left behind and split between the three kingdoms.

Bruce reveals that S.T.A.R. Labs has one of the Mother Boxes and sends Diana to meet Victor Stone (Ray Fisher), a college athlete who was severely injured in a car accident. Victor's father, Silas Stone (Joe Morton), used the Mother Box to revive Victor as a cyborg. Victor is unable to control his new powers and refuses to help. Silas is later captured by the Parademons, who are searching for the Mother Box. Meanwhile, Bruce travels to Iceland to meet Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa), the rightful heir to the throne of Atlantis, who has been exiled for being a a half-breed. Arthur refuses to help him, and later tries to defend Atlantis from Steppenwolf, but Steppenwolf defeats him and leaves with their Mother Box.

In Central City, Bruce recruits young speedster Barry Allen (Ezra Miller), and they meet with Diana in Gotham. They are called by Commissioner James Gordon (J.K. Simmons), who has located the scientists in an abandoned tunnel connecting Gotham and Metropolis. Victor joins them as they go there and rescue the scienttists, including Silas. Steppenwolf confronts and nearly kills the group before Arthur rescues them, while Steppenwolf escapes.
