Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under signs that predicted future greatness, but her reality as a woman consists of cleaning other people's houses and endless bad breaks. Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered hunter, arrives on Earth to locate her, making Jupiter finally aware of the great destiny that awaits her: Jupiter's genetic signature marks her as the next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
PLOT
Many years later, Jupiter (Mila Kunis) works with Aleksa and her aunt and cleans the homes of wealthy people. To buy a telescope, Jupiter agrees to sell her eggs with the help of her cousin Vladie (Kick Gurry). Under the alias of Katharine (Vanessa Kirby), Jupiter panics during the procedure and the doctors and nurses turn out to be messengers sent to kill Jupiter after her DNA sequence is found to have lined up in exactly the same order as Balem, Kalique, and Titus' mother's DNA sequence, making her a potential heir and ruler of the earth. She is saved by Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military fighter and hunter who was sent by Titus to track Jupiter down.
Stinger Apine (Sean Bean), an old friend of Caine's who gave up his career and his wings to save Caine after a disastrous incident many years ago, agrees to help Jupiter, but she is taken by Kalique, who explains to her the seed of immortality and shows her the nectar that keeps Kalique and her siblings young. Revealing to Jupiter her true residence as heir to the galaxies and the one who can take the earth away from Balem, Jupiter becomes queen, but is kidnapped by Titus, who convinces her to marry him after showing her that the nectar that keeps them immortal cost the lives of one hundred mortal human beings.
Titus reveals his true plan to kill Jupiter and become king and ruler of the earth before throwing Caine into the void, but Caine survives and saves Jupiter. By now, Jupiter is fed up and asks to be returned home, but her family has been taken hostage by Balem who tells her to hand over her title as queen or else her family will die. Realising that Balem can claim Earth only if she signs it over, Jupiter decides not to at the last moment, realizing she can either save her family and let the rest of the world die or she can save the billions of people on Earth instead.
Balem tries to kill Jupiter, revealing that his mother had asked Balem to kill her because she hated her life. Jupiter beats Balem, causing him to fall to his death and she escapes where she is rescued by Caine, Stinger, and Diomika Tsing, the captain of an Aegis escort ship (Nikki Amuka-Bird). Jupiter's family is safely returned home with no memory of her disappearance, while Jupiter remains queen of the earth. Vladie and her family buy her the telescope she wanted and Caine is granted back the wings that were taken away many years prior.
