Trois mois après la défaite de Syndrome dans le film précédent, la famille Parr - Bob, Hélène, Violette, Flèche et Jack-Jack - continuent d'opérer sous leur identité de super-héros, les Indestructibles. Le film commence à partir des derniers moments du film précédent, lorsque les Indestructibles ont essayé d'empêcher le Démolisseur de dépouiller la banque de Metroville. Ce dernier s'enfuit, et les autorités s'inquiètent de l'ampleur des dommages causés par l'incident. En conséquence, Rick Dicker informe la famille Parr que le programme « Super Relocation » de son département est en train d'être fermé, forçant les supers à travers le monde à prendre leur entière responsabilité en permanence et à oublier leurs identités secrètes. Avant de les quitter, il les place dans un hôtel pendant deux semaines. Bob et Hélène, ainsi que Lucius Best - le super héros Frozone - sont contactés par Winston Deavor, un fan de super-héros, philanthrope et magnat dans le domaine des télécommunications et propriétaire de DEVTECH, qui leur propose un coup de publicité pour regagner l'appui du grand public à l'égard des super-héros.

"Supers" – humans with superpowers – are forced into civilian relocation programs after facing several lawsuits from peripheral damage caused by their crime fighting activities. Fifteen years after relocation, Bob and Helen Parr, formerly Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl respectively, and their children Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack live as a suburban family. Bob is dissatisfied with suburban life and his white-collar job and longs for the glory days. On some nights, Bob and his old friend Lucius Best, formerly Frozone, perform vigilante work. One day, Bob loses his temper when his supervisor refuses to let him stop a mugging, causing Bob to be fired. Returning home, Bob finds a message from a mysterious woman named Mirage, who convinces him to become Mr. Incredible again and gives him a mission to destroy a savage robot called the Omnidroid on the remote island of Nomanisan, promising a substantial reward. Arriving on Nomanisan Island, Bob is able to find and defeat the Omnidroid by tricking it into ripping out its own power source.
