Plot
humans gifted with superpowers, were once seen as heroes, but collateral damage from their various good deeds led the government to quietly create and initiate a Supers Relocation Program, forcing the Supers to fit in among the civilians and not use their superpowers in exchange for anonymity.

Bob and Helen Parr, who are supers And formerly known to the world as Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, have married and raised three children, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack, in the suburbs of Metroville; Violet and Dash have innate superpowers, but the toddler Jack-Jack has yet to show any.

Bob, stuck in a white-collar job at an insurance agency, berated unfairly daily by his boss Mr Huph, reminisces of his former days as Mr. Incredible, and sneaks out on Wednesday nights with his Super friend, Lucius Best, aka Frozone, to fight street crime.

One day, Bob loses his temper with his boss, revealing his super strength and losing his job.

While trying to figure out what to tell Helen, he finds a message from a woman named Mirage, who asks for Mr. Incredible's help to stop a rogue robot on a distant island for an incredible reward.

Bob, claiming that he is going on a business trip to Helen, takes up Mirage's offer, and travels to the island of Nomanisan in a jet with Mirage.. She explains to him that the robot is called an Omnidroid, a top secret prototype battle robot, able to solve any problem it's confronted with.

The only unfortunate problem was its intelligence reached a point where it wondered why it was taking orders, and now it is wreaking havoc in the dense jungle.

Bob is then fast dropped into Nomanisan, explores around and then encounters the Omnidroid and successfully defeat by tricking it into ripping out its own power source.

On his return to Metroville, Bob spends his days working out, improving his family relationships with Helen and the kids, and getting back into shape.

He takes his super suit, torn in the battle with Omnidroid, to Edna Mode, the fashion designer to the Supers, and asks her to repair it.

She does so, and also insists on creating a new, better super suit for him. She refuses his request to add a cape, though, highlighting how the accessory doomed several other Supers in the past by getting caught on a variety of things.

Mirage soon contacts Bob with another job on the island. On arriving, he finds an upgraded Omnidroid who starts to attack him.

While trapped by the robot, he meets its creator, the technology-savvy super villain Syndrome.

Bob recognizes him as a young fan, Buddy Pine, an enthusiastic and eccentric young inventor who wanted to be Mr. Incredible's sidekick 15 years prior to the present day, but Mr. Incredible embarrases him when sending him back to his home.

Syndrome vowed revenge for this shunning, and sets the Omnidroid to kill Bob.

Bob manages to fake his death and hide from the robot, discovering the body of a former Super and friend, Gazerbeam.

During this moment he discovers that Gazerbeam, in the final moments of his life, had used his powers to inscribe the word into the cave wall in front of him.

His curiosity aroused, Bob breaks into Syndrome's base and finds a computer, outlining Syndrome's past work to identify the civilian identities of former Supers and secretly luring them to their deaths by fighting the Omnidroid, improving it in every way after every fatal battle.

Although Lucius has been identified as Frozone, Bob is relieved to discover that Helen, and by extension their children, are not yet identified in Syndrome's database.

He then types in Kronos and this reveals that it is in fact a codename for a master plan whereby the most powerful Omnidroid Syndrome he has would be unleashed upon every city in the world.

Meanwhile, Helen has become suspicious of Bob having an affair.

After discovering Bob's repaired suit, she talks to Edna and learns she created suits for the entire Parr family, each outfitted with a tracking device.

Helen triggers Bob's, identifying the remote island but inadvertently revealing Bob's presence to Syndrome and causing him to be captured.

Helen borrows a private jet from an old friend and travels to the island, disappointed to learn that Violet and Dash have stowed away while leaving Jack-Jack at home with a babysitter.

As they near the island, Syndrome gives an order to terminate them, but Helen and the children safely make it ashore.

Helen, Violet and Dash take shelter during that night in a cave and Helen, runs off to Syndrome's lair. She sneaks in and after prowling around rescues Bob from his cell.

Violet and Dash meanwhile then find out that the cave they are in is in fact an exhaust tunnel for the rocket launch and have to spend the night in the jungle.

The next morning they encounter a talking bird, which is fact a robotic alarm, this attracts the attention of the guards and they pursue them on high-speed Velocipods.

Violet and Dash manage to defeat all of them, and they soon reunite with Bob and Helen. However after facing off with several guards, they are soon captured by Syndrome, identifying all the Parrs as Supers.

With the Parrs contained, Syndrome explains that he will launch the perfected Omnidroid to Metroville, sending the city into chaos, upon which he will appear and using a control band, the robot and become the city's hero.

Then once Syndrome has become an old retiree, he plans to sell his advanced inventions to everybody, making them Super and thereby making the term obselete.

He launches the Omnidroid on a rocket and follows in his aircraft.

After his departure, Violet discovers that her force field can sever her magnetic bonds and frees the rest of the family, and with Mirage's help, they board a second rocket bound for the city.

In Metroville, the Omnidroid starts a path of destruction, and Syndrome enacts his plan, first saving a woman and her baby froma petrol tanker tossed by the Omnidroid, then faking a punch whilst pressing a button to detach one of the robot's arms, much to the people's cheers.

However the Omnidroid is still a learning robot: it identifies where the external control source is, observes the control band and fires it off Syndrome's arm, hen shoots at Syndrome's in-built rocket boosters, sending the villain flying into a building and knocking him unconscious while the robot continues to wreck the city.

The Parrs and Frozone, who starts seeing the ensuing attack work together to destroy it: the robot attempts to flatten Violet and Dash but Bob just manages to save them, though being thrown into a building afterwards.

He then charges back and tackles the Omnidroid with Frozone helping as well.

He then finds Syndrome's wrist band, realizing that it controls the robot, and throws it to Dash, who races to get it with the Omnidroid firing at him and trapping him amongst burning cars.

Helen slingshots a manhole cover and destroys the laser, whilst Frozone rescues Dash.

The robot then vaults itself into the air and nearly crushes Frozone and Dash, but he manages to freeze the air around them and cushions their fall.

The remote is then knocked away; Bob runs to get it only to be trapped in the Omnidroid's fired pincer.

Violet then recovers it whilst invisible and after much confusion, Bob soon realizes from remembering his battle with the first robot that the only thing that can penetrate it is itself.

He directs Helen to use the right controls and releases the powered-up pincer, which surges through and comes out the Omnidroid with its power source.

It falls mundanly into the river and finally explodes, and the city welcomes the Parrs and Frozone as heroes.

As they are driven back to their home, Helen anxiously calls the babysitter and learns that Syndrome, having regained consciousness has abducted Jack-Jack.

Arriving at home, Syndrome is taking the toddler to his ship, planning to raise the boy to fight against the Supers in the future.

As Bob and Helen launch a rescue attempt, Jack-Jack reveals his powers of transformation, forcing Syndrome to drop him into Helen's waiting arms.

Syndrome tries to escape but his cape gets caught in the suction of his aircraft's engine, killing him.

The ruined plane crashes into the Parr's home, but Violet is able to protect the family from harm.

Some time later, the Parrs have re-adjusted to normal life, but when a new villain, the Underminer, appears, the Parrs, including Jack Jack, don their masks, ready to battle the new foe.

 * Jack-Jack can set himself on fire like the Human Torch
 * The sequence where, after breaking through an apartment wall into a jewelry store, Frozone is kept at gunpoint by a nervous rookie cop.

 * In both films, the threatened character is played by Samuel L. Jackson.
 * Even the police officer's facial design is recognizably similar.
 * This is the first Pixar movie to center on mostly all-human characters.
 * This may have been the result of Pixar eventually developing technology to get around the infamous when it comes to animating humans, compared to the humans seen in the Toy Story films.
 * This is the only major Pixar movie where the Pizza Planet delivery truck from Toy Story doesn't make an appearance.
 * It does however appear in The Incredibles game in the Late To School level multiple times as you run past 4-way intersections, and in the final level.

Goofs

 * While Bob argues with Mr. Huph about the Walker policy after the 15-years-ago prologue, Bob's little bucket of pencils falls on its side.
 * Then he puts it back up placed on the left side of his right hand.
 * When Mr. Huph leaves, it is inexplicably placed on the right side of Bob's right hand and thus causing it to fall off the edge when Bob sits.
 * After being in a long traffic, Bob was about to park on the driveway. You can see there was nothing there.
 * When he parked the car and got out, he slipped on a skateboard coming out of nowhere.
 * When Lucius is putting aftershave on in front of the mirror in his apartment, he hears Omnidroid v.10 outside and runs to the window.
 * He leaves the bottle of aftershave on the desk with the lid off. He returns to open the drawer, and the lid is back on.
 * While the family eats dinner at the table, the food keeps changing position.
 * The commentators of the DVD discuss this during the featured scene.
 * After the dinner table scene, Bob leaves to go out with Frozone.
 * Then Helen turns to talk to Dash.
 * In the first shot, all the broccoli pieces sit around the steak on Dash's plate.
 * Then the shot changes, and a broccoli piece is suddenly sitting atop the piece of steak.
 * When Helen and Violet are talking at the dinner table, Violet's fork changes position a few times between shots.
 * After Bob gets back home from, you can see a barbecue in the backyard on the concrete deck.
 * But when the camera shows an aerial view of the house at the end of the scene, the barbecue is on the grass.
 * Violet's part changes sides a few times throughout the film.
 * It is usually on the left side of her head, but it is on the right at the end of the dinner table scene and when Helen first discovers her and Dash on the plane.
 * This was likely done on purpose because the camera in both of those scenes is focused on the right side of her face, so her face would not have been visible if her part was on the proper side.
 * Also, hair was so difficult to animate.
 * To save time and expense, they switched the part in Violet's hair to show her face when needed.
 * Violet's invisibility powers seem to be limited on her own body.
 * While her Edna Mode-made supersuit is able to become invisible along with her body, her hairband is not part of the suit.
 * It should therefore still be visible, but it isn't.
 * When Mr. Incredible crashes into the building trying to save a man, his shadow disappears.
 * When Helen Parr is talking on the phone to Edna Mode, the phone and phone cord have no shadows even though Helen's shadow appears on the wall behind her.
 * When Syndrome reminds Mr. Incredible about his line he is not holding Bomb Voyage in the flashback scene as he did in the original scene.
 * When Frozone is taking a drink when the police are at gunpoint, he leaves the water jug on and no water comes out.
 * Although the Omnidroid 08 had the on its shell, Mirage referred to it as.
 * The Omnidroid v.X3's computer graphic in the Operation Kronos database is a repeat of the v.X1's.
 * Syndrome dies in the plane accident.
 * However, he appears alive and well in Disney Infinity.
 * It is likely that The Incredibles Play Set is set in an alternate universe where Syndrome survived the explosion, especially that the makers of the game said that in Syndrome releases some Omnidroids into Metroville for try again kidnaps Jack-Jack.
 * It could also be that there was a clone of Syndrome.
