The Fantastic Four: First Steps plot summary 

The story begins in 1964, and The Fantastic Four have been heroes for four years. The world loves them. Reed’s tech ended hunger. Sue’s diplomacy stopped wars. Johnny is on every magazine. Ben hates the spotlight.

Then the Silver Surfer arrives. She warns that Galactus is coming to eat Earth. Entire planets have vanished. Reed confirms the threat and the team builds a plan.

They go to space and meet Galactus. He wants something from them, but they refuse. They escape using a neutron star. Sue gives birth during the trip home.

Back on Earth, the public turns against them. Protests demand they give up one life to save billions. Sue refuses and Reed builds giant teleportation bridges. The goal is to move the entire planet to safety.

The Surfer returns and attacks the bridges. Johnny talks to her. He learns her real name and past. Galactus lands in New York. The final battle happens in Times Square. One member nearly sacrifices everything. The Surfer makes a choice and the planet is saved. Sue dies but is revived.

The film ends with the team’s fifth anniversary. A mid-credits scene shows a man in a green cloak holding a metal mask.
