WONDER WOMAN script

Amazonian princess Diana leaves her hidden island with American pilot Steve Trevor, believing the God of War, Ares, is responsible for the ongoing Great War. In London, Diana and Steve assemble a team to infiltrate German lines and stop General Ludendorff and Dr. Maru from deploying a deadly gas weapon, leading Diana to confront and kill Ludendorff. Diana discovers that Sir Patrick Morgan is the true Ares, who attempts to corrupt her by revealing humanity's inherent capacity for war, prompting Steve to sacrifice himself to save countless lives. Fueled by love, Diana embraces her power, defeats Ares, ends the war, and dedicates herself to protecting the world, later receiving a photograph of herself and Steve as a reminder of her enduring commitment.

Dialogue examples

But now I’ve touched the darkness that lives in between the light. Seen the terrible things men do to each other in the name of hatred... and the lengths they’ll go to for love. And now I know that only love can truly save the world. So I stay and I fight and I give for the love I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever.

Diana Prince / Scene 95

The war? Well, which part? The Eastern Front in France is 400 miles long -- from the Alps to the Atlantic. Then there’s the Dolomites in Italy, Turks in Arabia -- there used to be a Russian Front but they quit last year so they could kill the Tzar and have a revolution.

Steve Trevor / Scene 46

I pray a day will never come where she has to fight, but you, the wisest of us all, know that one cannot deny their inner nature. A scorpion must sting, a wolf must hunt --

Antiope / Scene 7

Zeus created beings over which the gods would rule -- beings born in his image -- fair and good, strong and passionate. Zeus called his creation... man.

Hippolyta / Scene 8

You came here with such hope and determination and look at you now. Mankind did this to you. Join me in the fight... and we can destroy them forever!

Sir Patrick Morgan / Scene 93

But if I can get those notes to British Intelligence in time, it might make a difference... stop millions more from dying... Stop the war...

Steve Trevor / Scene 35

NEVER let your guard down! Your opponents will have no honor. They will strike at you from behind! They will attack without provocation!

Antiope / Scene 21

I’m sure he provides a great deal of support for you and your work, but having someone like me behind you -- I could provide a lot more.
