Warning: The rest of this article contains spoilers for "Black Adam."
The official synopsis of "Black Adam" reads, "Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world." We find out during the film that Teth-Adam gets his powers the same way that "Shazam!" does (in case you're not a comic book reader), and we find out just how that moment comes to be and why he is chosen. There's a significant plot twist here that we'll leave out, but it's a good one.
After Teth-Adam is awoken, the Justice Society is ordered by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) to capture him so she can put him in a cell for eternity. The team travels to Kahndaq to bring in the Man in Black, but they are met with fierce opposition as Teth-Adam's powers are remarkable. Eventually, a bigger threat emerges, and Black Adam must defeat Sabbac, a villain who draws his powers from the six demons of Hell (Satan, Aym, Belial, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, and Crateis).
