Fuelled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince assemble a team of metahumans consisting of Barry Allen, Arthur Curry and Victor Stone to face the catastrophic threat of Steppenwolf and the Parademons who are on the hunt for three Mother Boxes on Earth.

About

Justice League (2017) brings Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg together to stop alien invader Steppenwolf.

In this action‑adventure, Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince rally a group of metahumans—Barry Allen, Arthur Curry and Victor Stone—to confront the threat posed by Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons. The team must secure three Mother Boxes scattered across Earth to prevent a cataclysmic takeover. As each hero struggles with personal doubts, they must learn to trust one another and accept the burden of leadership. The film mixes high‑speed heroics with dramatic moments that explore the cost of heroism in a universe on the brink of war.

Watch if

Skip if
