BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
The movies in 1995 with a normal family living in Ohio, including two young girls. One day, the dad comes home and is like it’s time to go on a big adventure. They pack quickly get in the car and speed off just as the cops are starting to show up. Turns out, this isn’t a normal family. It’s Russian super soldier Alexei and his Black Widow operative wife. Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova pose as their daughters while they’re working undercover. With valuable S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence in hand, they flee to Cuba and Via montage, we see Natasha and Yelana being trained up by the Red Room become Black Widows.
21 years later, Natasha is on the run after violating the Sokovia Accords. She goes to a safehouse when at the same time, Yelena kills a rogue former Widow but is exposed to a synthetic antidote that frees her from the Red Room’s chemical mind control. Hoping Natasha and the Avengers can help free the remaining Widows, Yelena sends several antidote vials to Natasha before going into hiding. While unknowingly transporting the vials, Natasha is ambushed by the mysterious masked person named The Taskmaster. After escaping, she reunites with Yelena and learns about what’s still going on.
Determined to destroy the Red Room, Natasha and Yelena free their ol papa Alexei from prison, hoping he knows where the Red Room leader is at. He directs them to their ol mama Melina, who lives on a farm.
Although Melina secretly alerts Dreykov, Natasha convinces her to switch sides, and the two use advanced face-mask technology to exchange identities before being taken to the Red Room in the sky.
Dreykov quickly realizes Natasha’s disguise. Natasha discovers that every Widow is biologically unable to harm Dreykov because of a pheromone lock, so she deliberately breaks her own nose to sever her sense of smell and overcome the conditioning.
Dreykov attempts to escape while the remaining Widows attack Natasha, but Yelena releases the antidote gas, freeing them from Dreykov’s control. Natasha copies the locations of Widows stationed around the world from Dreykov’s computer as the damaged facility begins to collapse. She rescues the remaining antidote vials and frees Taskmaster. Natasha gives the viral and the locations of the remaining widows to Yelena so she can rescue the others.
Natasha goes to free the imprisoned Avengers.
Cut to after Natasha’s death, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine visits Yelena at Natasha’s grave. Claiming that Clint Barton is responsible for Natasha’s death, Yelena now has her next target.
