En pleine nuit, le 5 septembre 1972 alors que les jeux olympiques battent leur plein, un groupe de huit palestiniens s'introduit dans un bâtiment du village olympique hébergeant les athlètes de la délégation israélienne. Ils prennent en otage un groupe d'israéliens et abattent deux fuyards dès les premiers instants. Puis leur entraineur meurt à son tour. Il reste alors huit hommes entre les mains des palestiniens. Ces derniers veulent la libération de leurs frères retenus dans les prisons israéliennes en échange de leurs otages. Mais les négociations trainent et n'aboutissent pas. La position délicate de l'Allemagne face au peuple israélien n'est que suggérée dans le film, mais est dans les esprits de tous en raison du souvenir amer qu'a laissé la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ne laisse pas au gouvernement allemand de cette époque le droit à l'erreur. Pourtant tout cela va se finir dans un bain de sang atroce inévitable.

À la fois documentaire et film expérimental, Numéro deux se divise en deux principaux mouvements ; le premier présente Jean-Luc Godard lui-même, qui, au cours d'un long monologue, parle de lui, de son nouveau rapport au cinéma (notamment par l'utilisation de la vidéo) et des difficultés de son métier. Le second, construit en tableaux, est une analyse de la famille, et particulièrement d'une famille de classe moyenne située à Grenoble, son quotidien, et ce qu'il révèle. Sandrine, Pierre et leurs enfants sont filmés, à la manière d'une télé-réalité ou d'un documentaire, par des caméras intrusives et immobiles placées dans leur appartement.
