A meteorite made of a metal called vibranium crashes into the continent Africa in a country called Wakanda. Wakanda is made of five tribes who fight over the vibranium. Soon a man meets the panther goddess who gives him an herb. This herb, along with the plant life around it, has been changed by the vibranium. When he eats it, he gets superhuman strength and agility and becomes the first black panther. All the tribes unite accept for the Jabari, who isolate themselves.
Johann Schmidt forces Dr. Abraham Erskine to make a super soldier serum for him. The serum is not fully functional and alters Schmidt's appearance. He then goes on to form Hydra (the Nazi deep science division). He then finds the tesseract, which Odin had hidden in Norway and uses it to make weapons.
Erskine then finds a much more likable subject. He chooses army hopeful Steve Rogers to get the new and improved serum. Post serum, Rogers is in peak human physical condition. At first, the army uses him for theater and army employment, but when Rogers' best friend James Buchanan (Bucky) Barnes goes missing in action, he goes off on a secret mission.

In one fateful mission, Bucky falls off a train into ice. He is later found by Red Skull's scientist named Arnim Zola. Red Skull's plan is to fly tesseract powered bombs into various cities in the world and blow them up. Cap boards the plane to stop him. In the middle of the fight, Red Skull picks up the tesseract and is sent through a wormhole in space. Cap must fly the plane into the arctic, in order to freeze the bombs. He crashes and is presumed dead. While searching for the Captain, Howard Stark finds the tesseract and he and Agent Carter create S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Avengers raid a Hydra base to get Loki's septer. They meet the Maximoff twins who were altered by the septer. Tony and Bruce find an AI within the septer and use it to create Ultron, a world peacekeeping robot. "A suit of armour around the world," Stark called it.

They meet Dr. Bill Foster and Ava Starr, daughter of Elias Starr. Soon enough, Scott gets off house arrest, they rescue Janet, and Janet is able to cure Ava.
Back on the Asgardian refugee vessel, Thor is finally crowned King of Asgard, when Thanos boards their ship. He has already retrieved the power stone from the Nova Corps, when he decimated Xandar. He kills half of the Asgardians, with the help of his Black Order. Hulk attacks Thanos, but Thanos beats him easily. Heimdall sends Banner to Earth to warn the Avengers.

Thanos is about to kill Tony, but after seeing over 14 million futures and having them only win in one, Strange decides that he'd rather give up the time stone than let Tony die. He gives up the time stone an Thanos moves on.
Also meanwhile, Captain America, Black Widow, Bruce Banner, Scarlet Witch, and Vision go to Wakanda. They try to remove the mind stone from Vision's head with the help of Shuri. There is a large battle to keep the enemies away for enough time so the stone can come out. Unfortunately, one of Thanos' Black Order, Corvus Glaive, comes in through the back, and forces Shuri to pause the procedure.
Finally, Thanos arrives in Wakanda. They try their best to keep him occupied while Scarlet Witch destroys the mind stone; while it is still in Vision's head. Eventually, she destroyed the stone, but Thanos had another trick. He used the time stone to bring Vision back and ripped the stone from his head. Wanda had to watch Vision die twice. Before Thanos can snap, Thor throws Stormbreaker at him. The godly weapon impales the mad Titan's chest. This doesn't kill Thanos and he snaps, wiping out half the population of species in the entire universe. Tony is left stranded in space with Nebula on the Guardians' ship. The last thing Doctor Strange said was-
Five years later, the world is still coping with the loss of the decimation. One day, the Avengers' savior helps get Scott Lang out of the quantum realm. This hero was; a rat. When Lang got out, he found out that the decimation had happened and that it had been five years since he entered the quantum realm. He goes to his house to find his daughter Cassie; 15 years old. He then goes to Avengers HQ to tell the remaining Avengers that the five years in the quantum realm felt like five hours. He then comes up with a plan called, "the time heist."
The first destination is the Battle of New York, 2012. While the Avengers are fighting off a Chituari invasion, Tony, Steve, Scott, and Bruce go to collect the space, mind, and time stones. Steve secures the mind stone, but Scott and Tony don't have as much luck. Ant-Man goes into 2012 Tony's arc reactor and puts him in cardiac arrest. In the chaos, Loki, who was just captured by the Avengers, escapes with the tesseract. Steve gives Scott the septer, and he and Stark to to a place where both the tesseract and Pym Particles are at the same time.
Steve and Tony regain trust and go to S.H.I.E.L.D. when Hank Pym was still employed. They steal some Pym Particles and the tesseract. In the process, Tony talks to his father Howard Stark. By now, Bruce has already secured the time stone after talking to the Ancient One. Banner turned himself into a merge of the Hulk and Banner. He tells her that Strange willingly gave the time stone to Thanos. This reveals that Doctor Strange had a plan, after seeing 14 million futures with only one victory.
Thor and Rocket go to Asgard, on the day the Dark Elves attack and also the day of Thor's mother Frigga's death. Thor is now fat on carbs and beer. A day before, he was drinking beer and playing Fortnite with his friends Korg and Meik. Now, he was spotted by his mother, leaving Rocket to get the Aether out of Jane Foster's body. Before they leave, 2023 Thor summons the late Mjolnir, deeming him still worthy.
Nebula and Rhodey go to Morag, 2014. This is where Peter Quill first got the orb. They knock him out and steal the orb. Before Nebula can jump back, she gets interference in her software. 2023 Nebula's feed is connected to the same network as 2014 Nebula. 2023 Thanos sees the glitch and looks through 2014 Nebula's feed. He can see all the memory files of 2023 Nebula. Before she can warn Clint and Natasha, she is beamed up to Thanos' ship. 2014 Nebula takes her Pym Particles and goes to 2023.
They all arrive back, not knowing of 2014 Nebula's presence. Clint explained how Romanoff died. Hulk puts on the new Stark gauntlet, becase the stones emit gamma radiation. When he puts it on, the power nearly destroys his arm. He snaps and brings back everyone who died. Moments after everyone comes back, Nebula beams up Thanos' entire warship. He then absolutely destroys Avengers HQ. Everyone survives but can't get out. This leaves Barton with the gauntlet. This also leaves Thor, Stark, and Rogers to fight Thanos
Thanos is waiting for Nebula to bring him the stones. He fights Thor, Rogers, and Stark, with many callbacks to MCU history. First, Thor uses the power of Mjolnir and Stormbreaker to supercharge Stark's suit. Later, Thanos pushes Stormbreaker into Thor's chest, just like Thor did in Infinity War. At that moment, Mjolnir flies into Thanos and guess who's hand it lands in?
Captain America catches Mjolnir after it ricochets off of Thanos. Thor yells "I KNEW IT!" As a callback to the contest in Age of Ultron. From then on, it looks like the Avengers have the upper hand until, Thanos goes extra try-hard. He knocks Thor and Iron Man down, and absolutely obliterates Cap's shield. Cap gets up and faces down Thanos' nearing army. It is here where Thanos proposes his new plan of shredding the current universe down to the bare foundation and rebuilding. All seems hopless until...
A portal opens, revealing Black Panther, Okoye, and Shuri. Soon, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Bucky, Groot, M'Baku, the Wakandan army, Doctor Strange, Drax, Mantis, Star-Lord, Spiderman, Wong, Wasp, Kraglin, the Ravager army, Howard the Duck, Korg, Meik, Valkyrie, and the Asgardian army. They all gather to fight Thanos' charging army.
The fight rages on the destroyed Avengers HQ rubble. We see everyone fight. A dam breaks and Droctor Strange is occupied trying to keep the water from breaking loose. Scarlet Witch almost kill Thanos, before he orders his ship to reign fire. Captain Marvel destroys the ship and joins the fight. In the finish, Strange tells Stark that this is the one out of 14,000,603 outcomes where they win. Iron Man gets the stones and snaps Thanos' army into dust. He dies from all the power from the stones but still saves the day.
