The video is a humorous summary of the Divergent trilogy, a series of young adult dystopian movies. The story takes place in a future Chicago where society is divided into five factions based on personality traits. The main character, Tris, discovers she is a Divergent, meaning she doesn't fit into any one faction. She joins the Dauntless faction and undergoes training, where she meets her love interest, Four.
As the series progresses, Tris uncovers a conspiracy led by Kate Winslet's character, who seeks to eliminate Divergents. Tris and her friends rebel against the government and eventually discover a hidden message that reveals the true purpose of their society: to create a perfect human being through DNA experimentation.
The group escapes the city and discovers a futuristic world outside, where they meet Jeff Daniels' character, who reveals the truth about their society. However, he is later revealed to be a villain who wants to continue experimenting on the people of Chicago. The series ends with Tris and her friends stopping a war and finding peace, but the final movie was not made due to box office failure.
Throughout the summary, the narrator pokes fun at the movie's plot holes, clichés, and convenient plot devices, such as a gas that erases memories and a security camera that facilitates the plot. The narrator also compares the series to other popular young adult dystopian movies, such as The Hunger Games and Maze Runner.
