Detailed Summary
Millions of
years ago, a meteorite made of vibranium crashed in Africa. Later, five tribes
settled in the area and founded the Wakanda nation. They were still at war with
each other, until a warrior, guided by a vision of Bast, the panther goddess,
discovered the properties of "grass-heart" and increased her physical
abilities after ingesting her. By becoming the first Black Panther, he unified
the tribes (with the exception of the Jabari, who decided to go into the
mountains), and an era of prosperity began in Wakanda. Over the centuries, the
Wakandans have used vibranium to develop a very advanced technology while
isolating themselves from the rest of the world, obscuring their capital to the
outside eyes and pretending to be a country of the third world.
In 1992 ,
during a cover mission in Oakland , California , Prince N'Jobu increasingly
deplores Wakanda's isolationist policy, and nurtures the idea of sharing his
technology with the descendants of Africans all over the world, so that they
rise up against their oppressors. His brother, King T'Chaka, is made aware of
his betrayal by Zuri, an agent in charge of monitoring N'Jobu's actions. After
a verbal confrontation, he summons the prince to return to Wakanda to answer
for his crimes. Outside, a young boy playing basketball notices in the sky the
engines of the royal ship that flies away...
In the
present, a week after T'Chaka's death from Helmut Zemo, his son T'Challa, the
current Black Panther, returns to Wakanda to succeed his father on the throne.
After extracting his ex-girlfriend Nakia from a cover mission in Nigeria with
the help of Okoye General Dora Milaje, the Royal Guard, he finds his mother Ramonda
and his sister Shuri. During the coronation ceremony, while several tribes
refuse to present a warrior to challenge T'Challa for the title of king,
M'Baku, leader of the rival tribe Jabari, defies the prince in a singular duel.
The two men clash and T'Challa submits his opponent, legitimizing his title of
sovereign.
When
weapons smuggler Ulysses Klaue resurfaces, stealing a Wakand artifact from a
London museum and selling it in Busan , South Korea , W'Kabi, a close friend of
the king who lost his parents to Klaue, asks T ' Challa to solve the problem
either by killing him or bringing him back alive to Wakanda. The young king,
Okoye and Nakia try to intercept Klaue in a clandestine casino and discover
that the buyer is none other than Everett K. Ross, a CIA agent who had met
T'Challa in Berlin, and was occupied with the detention of Zemo. The situation
degenerates, fights break out in the casino, then a chase begins in the streets
of Busan, which ends with the arrest of Klaue. While interviewed by Constable
Ross, Klaue delivers information on Wakanda's state-of-the-art technology and
its large deposit of vibranium. He is then rescued by accomplices including
Erik Stevens, a former US Special Forces soldier nicknamed " Killmonger
" for his extreme brutality and the high number of his victims. Ross is
badly injured saving Nakia during the attack, and instead of chasing Klaue,
T'Challa takes Ross to Wakanda, where his sister Shuri uses advanced technology
to save her life. Meanwhile, Killmonger kills Klaue and his acolytes and then
flies to Wakanda.
Back in his
palace, T'Challa confronts Zuri on the origins of Erik (he noticed that he was
wearing the same ring as his own, inherited from his father), and the latter,
hesitating, confesses to him the truth: N'Jobu, during his cover mission,
secretly recruited Klaue to steal a stock of vibranium. But after being ordered
to return to Wakanda, N'Jobu wanted to kill Zuri, which caused T'Chaka to kill
his brother with his own hands, and to abandon the boy who was playing
basketball outside and who is in reality Erik himself, so that the Wakanda
never learns the truth. Shocked by this revelation, he loses confidence and
takes advice from Nakia.
Killmonger
also arrives at Wakanda, and presents Klaue's body as a gift to a doubtful
W'Kabi. At his arrest, he is brought before the King, and reveals to the elders
his real name: N'Jadaka, son of N'Jobu. He defies T'Challa for the throne
because of his status as a prince. During the duel, Killmonger's special
training and hatred are decisive. He kills Zuri who interposed to admit his
involvement in the death of his father, then easily triumphs T'Challa, he
leaves for death throwing him from a high waterfall. Later, after ingesting the
grass-heart and receiving the powers of the Black Panther, he burns all the
herbs without noticing that Nakia quietly stole one. Then he implemented his
father's plan by preparing shipments of vibranium weapons for Wakand agents
scattered around the world, with the aim of provoking a general uprising.
Nakia, Shuri, Ramonda and Ross flee the kingdom to seek help from M'Baku, and
learn that the Jabari found and provided palliative care for a comatose and
seriously injured T'Challa.
Cared for
and reinforced by the grass brought by Nakia, T'Challa attempts a rapprochement
with the Jabari, but M'Baku refuses to provide military support. He returns to
his kingdom and resumes the fight against his cousin, now also in possession of
a combination of Black Panther. While Shuri, Nakia and Okoye join the Dora
Milaje against W'Kabi and his army, Ross, piloting the royal jet from a
distance, manages to destroy in extremis the ships loaded with weapons before
they leave the country. Meanwhile, the arrival of the Jabari reverses the
course of the confrontation, and the W'Kabi Gate Tribe is forced to lay down
their arms. Meanwhile, the fight for the throne brings the two Black Panthers
into the vibranium mine, where sonic disks, used for the transport of metal and
activated intermittently, undermine the integrity of their vibranium armor.
When Killmonger's body is briefly exposed under the armor, T'Challa stabs his
cousin with his spearhead. Killmonger, after observing one last time the beauty
of his home country, prefers to die free rather than accept T'Challa's offer to
heal and imprison him by removing the blade from his chest.
Rejecting
the isolationist policy of former Wakand kings, T'Challa creates a support and
research center in Oakland so that Nakia and Shuri can work there and share
their knowledge and technology.
