Four years after defeating Enchantress,
Joker breaks up with Harley Quinn. Without his protection, all the people she
has wronged in the past want to kill her. At a night club owned by crime lord
Roman Sionis, Harley meets Dinah, a singer who becomes Sionis' driver, the
latter being impressed by her fighting skills when preventing a drunk Harley
from being kidnapped. Sionis is also investigated by Gotham City PD Detective
Renee Montoya, who also investigates a series of mob killing carried out by a
crossbow-wielding vigilante. Sionis sends his sadistic henchman Szasz and
Dinah to retrieve a diamond containing the account numbers to the fortune of
the Bertinelli crime family, who were massacred years ago, but Cassandra Cain,
a child pickpocket steals the diamond and swallows it as she is soon after
arrested by the police. Harley is captured by Sionis' men and convinces him to
release her under the promise she can retrieve the diamond from Cassandra.
Harley breaks into GCPD, frees Cass and takes her to her apartment, but they
have to flee when attacked by criminals, Sionis having also placed a bounty
on Cass' head. Harley agrees to meet with Sionis in an abandoned amusment park
to exchange Cass for his protection. Dinah, who had agreed to become an
informant for Montoya, tells her about the meeting, but Szasz notices it and
tells Sionis, who assembles an army of thugs to attack the meeting place. At
the amusement park, Harley and Cass are joined by Montoya and soon by Szasz
who forced Dinah to come with him. Szasz is killed by the crossbow killer who
appears suddenly and who reveals herself as Helena, the sole survivor of the
Bertinelli family and who wants to avenge their deaths. Together they fight
Sionis' thugs, but Cass is captured and chased by Dinah and Harley. Sionis is
finally killed by Cass. In the end, Montoya (who has left the police), Dinah
and Helena form the Birds of Prey team of vigilantes thanks to the Bertinelli
fortune, while Cass and Harley sell the diamond and go their own way.

After having drifted in space for 57 years,
Ripley is
rescued. Her employer accuses her of destroying the Nostromo and does not
believe her story about the alien, since the planet is now being colonized and
terraformed and no alien ship has been found. When contact is lost with the
colony, she is asked to accompany Burke, a representative of the company,
and group of colonial marines to investigate. They find the colony destroyed,
two alive face-huggers in vats in a laboratory and one little girl called
Newt. They locate the other colonists under the fusion-powered atmospheric
processor, cocooned in a sort of nest with many eggs, where some of them are
still alive and waiting to be taken by face-huggers. They are attacked by
several adult aliens when trying to kill a juvenile that just hatched, and
some of the marines get killed. They decide to evacuate with the dropship that
took them to the surface, but an alien who had climbed aboard causes it to
crash; in doing so it damages the fusion reactor which will explode and
destroy the colony after a few hours. The survivors barricade themselves in
the colony and wait until Bishop, an artificial man and technician with the
marines, is able to got outside, reach and hack the colony's transmitter to
remotely pilot the second dropship from the spaceship waiting in orbit. Ripley
discovers that Burke asked the colony to investigate the alien ship on in the
hope to profit from turning the aliens into a biological weapon. Before she
can expose him, he attempts to get her and Newt impregnated by the two
face-huggers from the lab, that would allow him to smuggle the alien back to
Earth. Having failed, Burke flees and is taken by the aliens that attack and
kill most of the remaining marines. Ripley, corporal Hicks and Newt try to
reach the dropship that is on its way, but Newt is taken by the aliens and
Hicks is severely wounded. Ripley arms herself and enters the nest under the
fusion reactor where she angers the alien queen laying eggs. She manages to
save Newt and escape as the reactor explodes, destroying the aliens' nest, but
the queen stows away on the dropship. Ripley manages to push her into an
airlock by using an exosuit cargo loader. Then they all go into stasis for
their return trip to Earth.

Five years earlier, Mark Hogancamp was beaten up and left for dead by a group
of white supremacist because he admitted, while drunk, to sometimes enjoying
wearing women's shoes. He has physically recovered but has lost all memory of
his life before the attack. Formerly an illustrator specialized in World War
2, he cannot draw anymore and has turned to photography. Mark has constructed
a model village named Marwen, set in Belgium during the war and built up a
story about an American pilot, Hogie, who is rescued and later protected by
the women of the village. Characters are represented by fashion dolls and each
of the women of the village is imagined after a real woman whom Mark has met.
The village is regularly attacked by Nazi soldiers who, despite being killed
by the villagers come back to life thanks to Dejah Thoris, the village's
witch. Mark photographs his fantasies to help him cope with memory loss and
post-traumatic stress disorder. After a lot of hesitation, Mark agrees to
appear in court to deliver a victim impact statement but upon seeing his
attackers he imagines the court room is attacked by Nazi soldiers and he flees
in terror; the judge postpones the hearing. When Nicol moves in the house next
door and is nice to him, Mark adds a new doll named after her to the village.
Hogie falls in love with doll Nicol and they get married. In real life
however, Nicol turns his proposal down. In Mark's fantasies, doll Nicol is
killed by a Nazi which is in turn killed by Hogie. Dejah Thoris revives the
Nazi and demands that Hogie comes with her to the far future in the time
machine Mark built for her, but during a struggle Hogie discovers that the
witch is actually a Nazi spy and Mark learns that she is the personification
of his addiction to pills that he thinks are helping him. He throws the pills
away, attends the court hearing and delivers his statement. He also agrees to
attend the exhibition of his work and makes a date with his friend Roberta,
who is a sales clerk at the hobby store where he gets his supplies.

Angus Thermopyle is an evil an unsuccessful space pirate. When he enters a bar
on a mining space station accompanied with a beautiful young woman, Morn
Hyland, the patrons wonder how that happened. Another, better looking pirate,
Nick Succorso, confronts Angus and somehow rescues Morn. It sounds like a
classical drama of captor, victim and rescuer. The real story however is that
Angus was chased by a United Mining Company Police vessel aboard which Morn
was serving. Suffering from undiagnosed gap-sickness, she lost control and
provoked the vessel to self-destruct. Angus rescued her, installed a zone
implant in her brain (for which he could be executed if caught) to control her
actions and prevent her from destroy his beloved ship, and used the implant to
torture Morn into submission to him. He however unexpectedly grew emotionally
attached to her. When Nick leaves suddenly the station to raid a ship in
distress just before it is locked down, Angus, who has been monitoring his
communications, follows him. Th ship however does not exist, it is all a trap
set by Nick with the complicity of someone in station security. Nick cripples
Angus' ship, and flies slowly back to the station. There Nick makes secretely
contact with Morn who helps him frame Angus for stealing stations supplies.
She negotiates the zone implant's remote control from Angus in exchange for
her silence about the illegal installation of the device. Morn leaves
in Nick's ship and Angus is arrested but his life is spared, making Morn his
rescuer.

The crew of the Nostromo ore transporter wakes up, believing they are arriving
close to the solar system. Instead, they were woken up to respond to a
distress signal from a nearby planet. A team crash-lands near a large alien
spaceship. As part of the team repairs the shuttle, others go out and discover
the long-dead body of a creature with a hole in its torso. Analyzing the
signal, Ripley concludes it's a warning to stay away, not a distress signal.
One member, Kane, discovers a chamber containing hundreds of eggs and as one
of them opens, a spider-like creature jumps out and attaches to his face,
through his helmet. When the shuttle flies back to Nostromo, Ripley insists
Kane's body remains in quarantine, but science officer Ash decides to let him in
the infirmary, where he tries to remove the creature from Kane's face by
cutting one of its legs. The creature's blood is very corrosive and manages to
drip through several floors. The creature eventually detaches itself and Kane
regains conciousness, but a few hours later he dies as another creature jumps
out of his chest. The crew starts hunting the creature, but, having quickly
become full-grown, it kills first Brett, and then Captain Dallas who was
following it in an air duct. Having to assume command, Ripley learns from
Mother, the board computer, that Ash has secretly been ordered by the Company
to bring alien creatures back to Earth and that the crew is expendable. She
confronts Ash, who tries to kill her, but with the help of Parker they manage
to kill him out and discover he's an android. Upon reactivating its head, Ash
indicates the alien cannot be killed. The remaining crew decides to
self-destruct the Nostromo and to escape in the shuttle. Parker and Lambert are
ambushed and killed by the creature, so Ripley initiates self-destruct, and
despite the alien initially blocking her way to the shuttle and a failed
attempt to cancel the self-destruct, she manages to escape just in time. As
she prepares for stasis, she notices the alien is hiding in the shuttle; she
puts on a space suit and flushes it out of the airlock. She then prepares for
the trip back to Earth.

Nick Carraway tells his psychiatrist about his meeting of Jay Gatsby in 1922
in New York. Carraway's cousin, Tom Buchanan is a domineering man whose wife
Daisy introduces her friend Jordan Baker to Carraway. Tom also has a mistress,
Myrtle, wife of a garage owner in a disreputable part of the city, whom Nick
meets at a party. Carraway has bought a house next to Gatsby's mansion and
wonders about the mysterious man. One day, Nick is invited to one of the
extravagant parties held by Gatsby, and is apparently the only person with an
invitation. Gatsby asks Nick to invite his cousin Daisy for tea at his cottage
one day, when Gatsby would just happen to visit his neighbour. Nick learns bit
by bit that Gatsby had met Daisy five years earlier when he was in the army
and had fallen in love with her. But since he was poor, he could not marry her
and she then married Tom and started to throw parties in the hope she would
attend. Gatsby and Daisy begin an affair, but when she ask him to run away
with her he refuses, saying she must divorce Tom. Gatsby pressures Daisy to
tell Tom she is leaving him, and during a dinner at the Buchanan Tom becomes
suspicious of Gatsby and his wife, but Daisy changes the subject, suggesting
they all go into town, at the Plaza Hotel. There Gatsby tells Tom that his
wife never loved him (which is not quite true) and Tom reciprocates exposing
Gatsby as a nobody who made his fortune through bootlegging with mobsters.
Gatsby and Daisy leave and on the way back home they pass by Myrtle's garage
and accidentally kill her but do not stop. Nick eventually deduces that Daisy
was driving that night but Gatsby protects her by letting people believe is is
responsible. He then waits for Daisy's phone call where she would tell him she
has finally left Tom, but he is instead killed by Myrtle's husband. Nobody
attends Gatsby's funeral except Nick, as now that his past is know and he is
still thought to be Myrtle's killer, he has become an outcast from the society
of the wealthy. In the end, Nick reflects on Gatsby's ability to hope.

Des pièces d'or anciennes entrent en contrebande aux États-Unis et financent
l'organisation de Mr. Big. Ce dernier, à la tête d'un réseau criminel, est un
agent de l'URSS, originaire de Haïti et possède une grande influence sur la
communauté noire américaine qui le considère comme le Baron Samedi du Vaudou.
Le yacht de Big va régulièrement de la Floride à la Jamaïque pour y chercher
des poissons exotiques et des coquillages, vendus par un grossiste local.
Comme l'or semble provenir de la Jamaïque, Bond est envoyé à New York pour
enquêter avec Felix Leiter, agent de la CIA. Dans une boite de nuit de Harlem,
Bond est enlevé et interrogé par Big qui fait appel à une jeune femme,
Solitaire, capable de détecter le mensonge. Bond s'échappe et part ensuite
en train en compagnie de Solitaire qui veut échapper à Big. Ils échappent de
peu à un attentat et arrivent en Floride mais sont rapidement repérés par un
agent de Big. Solitaire est enlevée par Big, tandis que Leiter, allé enquêter
seul chez le grossiste, finit à l'hôpital, mutilé. Bond y enquête à son tour,
découvre que l'or est caché dans le sable au fond des aquariums de poissons
venimeux. Il est attaqué par le propriétaire du magasin qui finit à travers
une trappe dans le bassin à requins dont Leiter a été victime. Bond part alors
pour la Jamaïque et se prépare pour une expédition sur l'île, privée, où
mouille le yacht de Big. Il parvient à l'île en scaphandre autonome et place
une mine sur la coque du navire, mais est ensuite repéré et arrêté, tenant
compagnie à Solitaire. Les hommes de Big sont en train de vider la caverne
contenant le trésor du pirate Henry Morgan. Leur départ est prévu le lendemain
matin, juste au moment où la mine doit exploser et Big prévoit de tuer Bond et
Solitaire en les trainant derrière le yacht à travers le récif de corail pour
attirer les requins et barracudas qui les achèveront. La mine explose
heureusement juste à temps et Bond et Solitaire sont sauvés par Quarrel.

The civilization of Canopus colonizes the planet Shikasta and expects to keep
it under its positive influence, but a cosmic event reduces that influence to
almost nothing. Johor, emissary of Shikasta reports that the Giants, installed
there to guide the evolution of the Natives disappear slowly under the
ambiguous influence of agents of Sirius and under the negative influence of
the emissaries of Shammat, the moral opposite of Canopus. The Natives
themselves are less and less benevolents towards each other. Johor reports the
typically miserable lives of a few individuals between World Wars 1 and 2, and
History books cite the diary of a young woman telling the story of her brother
George in the time leading to World War 3. Very charismatic, George organizes
Youth groups that turn into Youth Armies in various parts of the world, who
take care of providing refuge to children orphaned by the various conflicts
that erupt everywhere. Reports by Chinese agrens indicate that at some point
George is chosen to represent non-white people in a mock trial of the white
people regrding the colonization of Africa and the Americas. This event seems
to mark the beginning of the third World War.
