Plot
The film opens with Reed Richards and Ben Grimm childhood friends struggling to make ends meet have worked together on a prototype teleporter, attracting the attention of Professor Franklin Storm, director of the Baxter Foundation, a government-sponsored research institute. Reed is recruited to join them and aid Storm's children, scientist Sue Storm and technician Johnny Storm, into completing a "Quantum Gate" designed by the hair to the Latvirian throne Victor von Doom.

The experiment is successful, and the facility's supervisor, Dr. Allen, plans to send a group from NASA to venture into a parallel dimension known as the "Negative Zone". Disappointed at being denied the chance to join the expedition, Reed, Johnny, and Sue along with Ben use the Quantum Gate to embark on an unsanctioned voyage to the Negative Zone, which they learn is a world filled with unknown substances and a technologically advanced city in the distance. The group is then attacked by the insect like creatures, causing the ground they are standing on to erupt. Reed, Johnny, Sue and Ben return to their shuttle just as the leader of the creatures blasts it with an energy beam. The Quantum Gate explodes, altering Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben on a genetic level and affording them superhuman abilities beyond their control: Reed can stretch like rubber, Susan can become invisible and generate force shields, Johnny can engulf his entire body in fire and fly, and Ben develops a rock-like hide which gives him superhumam strength and durability. They are then placed in government custody in order to be studied and have their abilities tested.

The four bond as they learn to live with their new abilities, Reed feeling responsible for the indecent promises to find a cure for Ben's condition and makes specialized suits for himself, Sue, and Johnny designed to help them better control their powers. Victor guilts Reed into rebuilding the Quantum Gate offering him the resources to find a cure for Ben. After the new Gate is, Victor prepares to go through, secretly hoping to receive powers of his own. The portal suddenly opens from the other side and Annihilus, the ruler of the Negative Zone along with his followers come through. Annihilius declares war on the Earth believing the human race needs to be destroyed for entering his world, Annihilus kills the scientists and soldiers in the base, including Dr. Allen and leaving Professor Storm injured and Victor horribly burned, after a short fight with Reed and Sue, they escape into the city with Ben, Johnny, Reed, and Sue in pursuit.

Annihilus activates the portal to the Negative Zone using his Control Rod and begins consuming the landscape of the Earth using a weapon in the Negative Zone. After dealing with his followers The four confront Annilhilus, after a battle, Sue is able to get the Control Rod from him, Ben punches Doom into the portal's energy beam, disintegrating him while Reed is able to use the rod to close the portal, the group is rewarded by the US military for their heroics by being given a new base of operations known as "Central City" in order to study their abilities without government interference.
