Incredibles 2 2018

As the curtain opens on this action-packed adventure, we find Rick Dicker (Jonathan Banks) engaged in a probing interview with Tony Rydinger (Michael Bird), whose recent romantic overtures towards Violet Parr (Sarah Vowell) were brutally interrupted by the Underminer’s (John Ratzenberger) rampage through Metroville. As Tony takes cover from the chaos, he catches a glimpse of The Incredibles - Bob/Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), Helen/Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), Violet, Dash (Huck Milner), and Jack-Jack - poised to spring into superhero mode, only to have Violet’s mask momentarily slip off in frustration as she’s tasked with babysitting her precocious little brother. Dicker then takes the opportunity to erase Tony’s memories of the encounter.

The battle-scarred cityscape gives way to a thrilling showdown between Bob and the Underminer as he attempts to drill deep into Metroville’s heart. Just in time, Lucius Best/Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) joins the fray, bringing his signature cool and calculated heroics to the mix. Meanwhile, Violet’s attempts to pawn off Jack-Jack on Dash are met with equal success, as the two siblings engage in a hilarious game of tag as they rush to support their parents.

As Bob finally catches up to the Underminer at the Metroville Bank, the stage is set for an electrifying confrontation that culminates in The Incredibles foiling the villain’s plans and, ultimately, getting caught in the act by the authorities. Dicker delivers a stern lecture on the consequences of their actions, citing damage to property and the Underminer’s escape as justification for shutting down the Supers Relocation Program.

With their superhero careers put on hold, Bob and Helen must break the news to their kids that, despite the thrill of fighting crime together as a family, it remains illegal for them to operate in public. The tension is palpable as they navigate this difficult reality. Just as things seem settled, Lucius arrives at the motel with an intriguing proposition: he’s encountered someone who wants to meet the three of them together, and insists that they show up in their original superhero attire.

The stage is set for a thrilling adventure as this family of Supers navigates the complexities of their double lives. With secrets, lies, and misunderstandings lurking around every corner, The Incredibles must confront the consequences of their actions and decide whether to continue living life on their own terms or conform to societal norms.

As Bob (voice of Holly Hunter), Helen (also voice of Holly Hunter), and Lucius arrive at DevTech, a cutting-edge company helmed by Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk), a self-proclaimed enthusiast of Supers. They are joined by Winston’s sister, Evelyn (Catherine Keener), a brilliant inventor with a passion for technology. Winston shares the tragic tale of his parents, who were fervent supporters of Supers, including having direct access to heroes like Gazerbeam and Fironic. However, after the Supers went into hiding, their father’s home was burgled, and when he couldn’t reach either hero, he met a fatal end at the hands of the perpetrators. The trauma was compounded by his mother’s subsequent passing due to heartbreak. Winston’s desire is to revive the public’s perception of Supers, and he believes Helen, aka Elastigirl, is the ideal face for this movement, thanks to her impressive track record of minimizing destruction during her heroic feats. This news doesn’t sit well with Bob, who has his reservations.

Back at home, Bob and Helen engage in a heart-to-heart discussion about their mission, weighing the risks involved in potentially breaking the law and Helen’s need to leave her family behind. Bob convinces Helen that taking on this challenge is crucial for their children’s future opportunities to make a difference. Helen subsequently contacts Winston and accepts the mission.

Winston relocates the family to one of his luxurious residences and equips Helen with an advanced motorcycle, leaving Bob to care for their kids, much to his dismay. As Helen prepares to embark on her Elastigirl persona, she uncovers a pressing threat: a revolutionary new bullet train is set to make its debut. True to form, the train reverses course and hurtles towards disaster, prompting Helen to spring into action as Elastigirl. She deftly boards the train, only to discover that the conductor is under some sort of mind control. With her quick thinking, she manages to separate the train cars and prevent a catastrophic derailment. As she attempts to communicate with the conductor, he snaps out of his trance-like state, revealing a cryptic message on the screen: “Welcome back, Elastigirl - The Screenslaver.”

As Helen receives a jubilant call from Bob, his enthusiasm is tempered by a mix of pride and frustration. He can’t help but feel overshadowed by her accomplishment, while also struggling to navigate the challenges of solo parenting. Dash requires assistance with his math homework, which proves to be a formidable hurdle for Bob to overcome. Meanwhile, Violet’s emotional state takes a hit when Tony forgets their date, leaving her feeling dejected and unappreciated. In an effort to soothe Jack-Jack, Bob attempts to put him down for the night, but the youngster has other plans. As Bob drifts off to sleep, Jack-Jack awakens to find a raccoon rummaging through the trash outside. Unbeknownst to Bob, Jack-Jack’s eyes glow with an otherworldly intensity as he unleashes his hidden powers. With a burst of energy, Jack-Jack phases through the glass, morphs into a fearsome creature, and proceeds to engage in a ferocious battle with the raccoon. As the dust settles, Bob stumbles out into the night, stunned by the sheer display of Jack-Jack’s abilities.

Meanwhile, Helen takes center stage on a popular talk show, hosted by the charismatic Chad Bentley (Adam Gates). Before the cameras roll, she shares a moment with Ambassador Selick (Isabella Rossellini), who expresses her admiration for Elastigirl. However, as the interview begins, Chad and the rest of the crew fall under a strange trance-like state. Helen’s instincts kick in, and she darts out to the choppers escorting the Ambassador, where she discovers the true extent of the Screenslaver’s sinister influence. With her quick thinking and superhuman reflexes, Helen saves the Ambassador’s crew and Selick herself from certain doom as the chopper crashes and burns.

Back at school, Violet attempts to make amends with Tony, only to be rebuffed by his obliviousness. She confides in Bob about her frustrations, but he inadvertently reveals that Dicker erased Tony’s memories of her, sending Violet into a tailspin of despair. Feeling powerless, she renounces her superhero identity and walks away from the world of heroism.

As Bob tries to rectify the situation, he turns to Dicker for guidance. The cryptic restaurateur hints at a connection between Tony and his parents’ establishment, where he works as a waiter. Desperate to make things right with Violet, Bob takes the kids on a visit to the restaurant, hoping to rekindle her sense of purpose. However, when Violet discovers that Bob is none other than the charming waiter, she becomes overwhelmed and lets out a humiliating display of nose-spraying water, further deepening the rift between them.

As Helen Deavor introduces her friend Helen Parr (Elastigirl) to a diverse array of Supers, the dynamic duo meets Voyd (Sophia Bush), a youthful enthusiast with the extraordinary ability to conjure portals. The gathering also includes Reflux (Paul Eiding), an elderly Super who unleashes a torrent of molten lava at will; Krushauer (Phil Lamarr), a compacting force to be reckoned with; and Brick, a behemoth of a Super with Herculean strength. In this meeting of the minds, Helen confides in Evelyn about Screenslaver, the elusive villain they seek to apprehend. Evelyn devises a plan to lure him into a trap by staging another interview, allowing Helen to zero in on his signal.

Meanwhile, Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) is still trying to wrap his head around Jack-Jack’s astonishing abilities. The precocious youngster can teleport across dimensions and be summoned with the promise of cookies. However, when denied his cookie fix, he morphs into a monstrous version of himself. Even Lucius, a seasoned ally, is taken aback by the sheer freakiness of Jack-Jack’s powers. As Dash looks on, an auctioneer puts up for sale an old high-tech vehicle once owned by Mr. Incredible - the Incredibile. Bob is incensed that this relic of his past is being peddled to the highest bidder, especially since he still possesses the remote control that can activate its potent abilities.

To distract himself from Jack-Jack’s antics, Bob orchestrates a daring display of power, activating the Incredibile and broadcasting it live on television. This impromptu performance serves as a clever diversion, allowing Helen to set her trap for Screenslaver during another staged interview. The villain once again hijacks the broadcast, taunting viewers with his malevolent presence before Helen tracks him down to an unsuspecting apartment. As she confronts Screenslaver, he sets off a bomb and makes his escape, leaving Helen to pursue him outside. In a thrilling sequence of events, she apprehends the unmasked culprit - a seemingly ordinary pizza delivery guy bereft of any memory of his criminal exploits.

As Bob struggles to get some much-needed rest after a long night of babysitting, he turns to Edna Mode (Brad Bird), a renowned fashionista and Super-mentor. Despite her initial reservations about being around children, Edna is fascinated by Jack-Jack’s uncanny ability to mimic her own appearance. Recognizing an opportunity to learn from the young Super’s powers, she agrees to take on the task of caring for Jack-Jack and helping Bob navigate his unpredictable abilities.

As Helen (Elsie Fisher) basks in the glory of capturing Screenslaver, a peculiar anomaly catches her attention. A photograph of the villain reveals a screen displaying his image, eerily reminiscent of her own suit’s camera feed. She shares her trepidation with Evelyn, coinciding with their examination of Screenslaver’s mask. Helen then retrieves a pair of mind-controlling goggles, only to have Evelyn (Holly Hunter) swiftly apply them, shocking revelation unfolding: the true mastermind behind Screenslaver is none other than Evelyn herself.

Meanwhile, Bob (Craig T. Nelson) pays a visit to Edna Mode (Brielle Boatman), discovering that she has successfully contained Jack-Jack’s (Truck and Mutt Schulze Hopkins) formidable powers within a specially designed suit. Back at the scene of the crime, Helen awakens, bound and subjected to cryogenic treatment, her incredible physiology rendering it ineffective in restraining her. As the truth dawns on her - that Evelyn is, in fact, Screenslaver - she learns that her nemesis had pre-recorded messages and exploited the pizza delivery man as a pawn.

Evelyn’s motivations, rooted in a long-standing grudge against Supers, stem from her father’s reliance on them instead of seeking adequate hiding spots during burglaries. Her disdain for Winston’s (Samuel L. Jackson) unwavering support for these extraordinary individuals only fuels her vendetta. Evelyn wants to ensure the Supers remain outlawed.

With Helen under her control, Evelyn dispatches a distress call to Bob, who responds by enlisting Lucius (Odenki Menya) to care for the children while he investigates further. Honey (Kimberly Adair Clark), Lucius’s wife, is none too pleased about his hasty departure. Shortly after, Voyd and the other Supers arrive, their minds hijacked by Evelyn’s mind-control goggles. Lucius arrives just in time to utilize his cryogenic abilities to repel the controlled Supers, but they eventually overpower him, donning the goggles as well.

As the situation spirals out of control, Dash (Hudson West) discovers the Incredibles’ remote and summons their iconic vehicle to the scene. He and Violet (Samantha Jackson) whisk Jack-Jack away from harm’s way, deciding that it is imperative to rescue their parents. The car, empowered by its AI, proves instrumental in their efforts.

Bob tracks down Helen to DevTech, where she uses a passionate kiss as a diversion to apply the mind-control goggles to him. As Winston orchestrates an event on his yacht, where world leaders will lift the ban on Supers, Evelyn seizes this opportunity to turn the global community against these extraordinary individuals once and for all.

As the yacht disappears into the horizon, the Incredible kids’ spirits sink with it. But their trusty hovercar, the Incredibile, proves to be just the right companion to catch up with their parents on the high seas. Boarding the yacht, they embark on a frantic search for Mom and Dad, only to find themselves face-to-face with the brainwashed Superheroes, now under Evelyn’s hypnotic control. Meanwhile, the world leaders conclude their clandestine deal, but just as the ink dries, Evelyn masterfully manipulates Bob, Helen, and Lucius into publicly declaring their sinister intentions on live television.

The kids finally locate their parents, just in time to witness Evelyn orchestrating the Supers to steer the yacht straight for the city. Panicked, they frantically remove the hypnotic goggles from their parents’ eyes - including Lucius’, who joins the fight against his brainwashed comrades. As Evelyn’s control starts to wane, she makes a desperate bid to escape on her private jet, but Winston refuses to join her and leaps back onto the yacht.

Helen springs into action, accompanied by Voyd’s portal powers, hot on Evelyn’s heels. Bob and Lucius take charge of stopping the wayward yacht from wreaking havoc on the city. With Voyd’s help, Helen manages to board the jet, but just as she reaches for Evelyn, the villainess unleashes a disorienting gas that sends Helen stumbling. Seizing the opportunity, Helen grabs a flare gun and blasts Evelyn out of the cockpit, sending her plummeting into the ocean. As the yacht drifts to a stop, Lucius conjures up a snowstorm to slow its approach.

With Evelyn apprehended and the world leaders standing by their decision, a judge lifts the ban on Supers, allowing them to once again don their iconic suits. Violet takes Tony on a date, but with her entire family in tow at the movies. As they settle in for the film, they’re interrupted by the sound of sirens blaring outside - it seems a couple of crooks are on the loose after a daring robbery. With her promise to return soon, Violet and the Incredibles suit up once more, ready to take on the next adventure that comes their way.

As the consequences of their failure to apprehend The Underminer unfold, the Supers Relocation Program comes to a grinding halt. In the midst of this chaos, Winston Deavor, a tech mogul with a penchant for innovation, approaches Helen/Elastigirl (voiced by) with an audacious proposal: to revolutionize public perception and prove that Supers can be both powerful and harmless. This unexpected turn of events leaves Bob/Mr. Incredible (voiced by) to navigate the challenges of domestic life, juggling the needs of his three children - Violet, Dash, and the enigmatic Jack-Jack, whose nascent powers are growing at an alarming rate.

Meanwhile, a sinister figure known as The Screenslaver begins to wreak havoc on the city, exploiting its screens to induce a collective trance-like state in its citizens. Helen/Elastigirl is hot on the trail of this mysterious villain, only to discover that it’s just a pawn in a larger game orchestrated by Winston Deavor’s sister, Evelyn - a woman with a deep-seated grudge against Supers. Her father, who was murdered during a botched burglary attempt when he tried to seek help from the Supers, has left her with a festering sense of betrayal that drives her determination to keep them hidden.

Evelyn’s master plan involves using mind-controlling goggles to put the Supers under her control, convincing the public that they’re a menace and must be kept in the shadows. The kids are faced with an impossible task: saving their parents from this hypnotic grip and stopping Evelyn’s destructive scheme before it’s too late. In a thrilling climax, the family - along with Lucius/Frozone (voiced by) and other hypnotized Supers - works together to destroy the mind-control devices and prevent catastrophic consequences.

In the aftermath of this high-stakes adventure, Helen/Elastigirl confronts Evelyn and manages to thwart her plans once more. With Evelyn’s schemes foiled and her mind-controlling goggles destroyed, the city is finally free from her grasp. As a result, the Supers are permitted to emerge from their hiding places, ready to resume their superhero duties and prove that they’re truly forces for good in the world.
