The movie opens with Barry on the way to a date he has with a news woman named Iris West he met in the park a week ago. On the way to his date Barry gets a call from Donald that he needs to come see what's happening. Barry gets to Donald and Eddie and sees a huge clump of black lightning surrounding what looks to be a man. Barry asks how this happened and Donald says it just happened. Just then the man looks at Barry and tells him he'll know soon enough and throws a lightning bolt at him. Donald tries to stop it but suddenly both of them appear on the same street but with no one on it. Just then the man appears and tells him that he is the Reverse Flash aka Zoom and they are on Earth 2. He tells them the story of how he was a normal person but one night a mysterious figure visited him in his sleep and gave him a mission to break Barry Allen with the speed the figure granted him. Barry tells Donald he is the Flash and they have to get back home. Throughout the rest of the movie Barry tries to find the cosmic treadmill in this mirror Earth while Zoom throws everything at them. Eventually Barry finds the treadmill but so does Zoom. Zoom goes in to throw a bolt of lightning at Barry but Barry moves out of the way and pushes Zoom into the bolt. Barry grabs Donald and gets on the treadmill. The movie ends with Barry going to Iris's house to explain and she introduces him to her nephew Wally West.
