What happens in Suicide Squad from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 16 key events and the ending explained. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
The film begins at Belle Reve Penitentiary, where Floyd Lawton (better known as Deadshot) is seen in his cell, vigorously working on a punching bag. The guards, led by Captain Griggs (Ike Barinholtz), deliver a subpar meal to him. When Griggs mocks Deadshot, Floyd makes a menacing promise to take revenge, prompting Griggs to have him restrained and beaten by fellow guards.
In a different part of the prison, Harley Quinn, portrayed by Margot Robbie, hangs upside down, confined in her makeshift cage. When Griggs comes to visit her, he maliciously activates the electric bars, which sends Harley into a flashback of her first days in confinement, illuminating her descent into madness.
