The Incredibles

## Synopsis

It all begins when Mr. Incredible, also known as Bob Parr, has an experience of fighting crime and saving people's lives. He rescues a man who jumps from a high building, and stops a train from falling off its track. His self-proclaimed biggest fan, Buddy Pine, who he calls himself "IncrediBoy", sometimes gets in his way. On that same night, Mr. Incredible marries Elastigirl, also known as Helen Parr. But after the marriage, Mr. Incredible is face to face with lawsuits, causing him to retire as a superhero. For the next 15 years, the two now live with just normal lives. They have three kids -- 13-year-old Violet, 10-year-old Dash, and baby Jack-Jack. And like their parents, they each get their own powers -- invincibility and force fields, and running faster than the speed of light. But Jack-Jack appears to have no powers at all. Eventually, Bob gets fired from his current job after throwing his boss through several office walls. His old friend, Rick Dicker, cannot help him anymore because too much money is being wasted for the government. A mysterious agent contacts Bob and offers him a highly paid job: to defeat a renegade robot, the Omnidroid 08, in a place called Nomanisan. He accepts, and his work as a superhero is renewed. A supersuit designer, Edna Mode, offers brand new suits for him and his entire family. The Omnidroid turns out to have been designed by Syndrome, a villain who is none other than Buddy Pine. After Syndrome captures Bob, Helen heads to Nomanisan with Violet and Dash, leaving Jack-Jack behind with a babysitter named Kari. There, a battle is held between the Incredible family and Syndrome's henchmen. Syndrome goes to Metroville in order to become a "hero", and he brings his own Omnidroid with him. The Incredible family goes after him to Metroville, and they fight off the robot. On the way back home, Helen listens to the messages that Kari left. The last one reveals that there was a replacement babysitter -- who appears to be Syndrome. He kidnaps Jack-Jack and flies high up into the sky with his rocket boots. Then Jack-Jack reveals his superpowers, forcing Syndrome to drop him. Helen catches him, and Bob throws his car into Syndrome's escape vehicle, and the villain is killed after his cape gets caught in the engine. The vehicle explodes, and Violet shields the entire family right before the flames and debris rain on top of them. Three months later, the family is happier than ever. However, a new villain called the Underminer shows up from the ground and declares war.
