The storyline in Bionic starts out presenting itself like a sports-themed drama that puts two sisters at the centre of a futuristic world shaped by advanced technology. At first, one might expect the film to stay focused on sibling rivalry in a competitive setting.
But the final parts of the movie shift attention to a bigger conspiracy involving Heitor, who later turns out to be the main villain. As the movie reached its peak, Maria confronted Heitor and succeeded in exposing his illegal dealings involving black market prosthetic parts.

The intense action sequence where Maria used her enhanced limb to defeat Heitor felt almost like something out of a Zack Snyder film, due to the heavy stylization and choreographed combat.
A Risky Rescue and an Emotional Moment
Before the police could get involved, Gabi showed up and managed to rescue Maria from the scene. However, she lost her prosthetic leg during the rescue, which led to a touching moment between the sisters in the final minutes of the story.
After the confrontation, the movie takes a jump forward in time, showing that several months have passed. At this point, their father is still searching for his children, unaware of their whereabouts.
Maria is shown to be fine and even improving her skills with her artificial body part, suggesting that she’s preparing to train upcoming athletes who use such technology. Gabi, on the other hand, has decided to live under the radar. She’s now working in secret alongside someone who was part of Heitor’s group.
Secrets Revealed and a New Mission Begins
Another detail that came out later is that Gus, the long-lost brother of Maria and Gabi, actually survived but was left with serious injuries. Because of how bad his condition was, his body had to be rebuilt with prosthetics to the point where he is now partly robotic.
With these modifications, he became physically more powerful than both of his sisters. The final twist arrives when it is revealed that Maria reached an agreement with one of the corrupt businessmen linked to Heitor’s operation.
According to their plan, the three siblings—Maria, Gabi, and Gus—would now serve as living weapons. This moment suggests the beginning of a trend where genetically and mechanically enhanced humans would start becoming part of future developments.
