Four years after the events of the second movie, Bob (Mr. Incredible) is facing having a condition that middle-aged people can sometimes get, and it's the kind that might force him to retire from hero work. Dash is 14 and about to graduate middle school, Violet just turned 18 and not only she's about to graduate high school, she's in a loving relationship with Tony Rydinger. Violet also hopes to get accepted into the same college that Tony is going to. Jack-Jack is 4 and he wants to fight in the field with other heroes, even though he's told he's too young. Frozone and his wife have a daughter of three years. The third movie is centered more on the kids. Helen tells the kids to focus more on their last week's of school than on hero stuff, and that they will not be allowed to use their powers until graduation. Violet got accepted, but Helen and Bob are reluctant to tell her that they can't afford to pay the tuition. So Dash does a risky move to help provide for her sister: working undercover at a young bad guy organization, which is where he heard the cool kids at his school hang out, and once he has his share of the money, he'll have the hoodlums turned in and Violet's tuition will be paid. Also, Edna Mode is now making the headlines with her super-suit designs. To be continued... There will be old friends and old enemies. The main villain has a long complicated revenge plot on the entire Incredible family.
