Reed and Sue are attempting to marry early in the film. The film's remaining story centers on the appearance of the Silver Surfer on Earth, as well as the return of Doctor Doom. The Silver Surfer befriends Sue.

The film begins two years after the first, with Doctor Doom having spent two years trapped in a casket and taking over Latveria. Doom desires to take the Silver Surfer's powers,having been reverted to his organic form after provoking and being attacked by the Silver Surfer.

During Reed's wedding, the Surfer happens to fly past, disrupting the whole thing. The Human Torch then battles with the Silver Surfer, and by coming into contact with him gains the ability to absorb the powers of the rest of the Four by touching them. Reed learns that the Surfer uses a Cosmic Energy similar to what gave the group their powers. He also finds out that a planet dies eight days after the Surfer passes it.

The military captures the Surfer with the help of Doom and the Four's devices. They learn that the Surfer's powers come from the board and he is thus powerless without it. Without the board, he turns dull. The military proceeds to torture the Surfer for information. The Surfer tells Sue that he is not the Destroyer of the Worlds; it is his master, Galactus. It is also revealed that his Surfboard acts as a homing beacon for Galactus to follow.

Meanwhile, Doctor Doom betrays the military and steals the Surfer's power by taking the Surfer's board. Sue is stabbed by Doom in the ensuing conflict, killing her. As the Surfer is powerless to help, the Human Torch absorbs all three of his teammates' powers in order to become strong enough to defeat Doom and free the Surfer. The Thing manages to knock Doom into a lake after a battle between him and the Torch, where he is seen sinking, returning control of the Surfboard to its owner.

However, Galactus (portrayed as a massive cloud-like mass, somewhat akin to Gah Lak Tus) has already arrived, turning the local climate into a total mess. His power restored, the Surfer resurrects Sue and decides to defend his newfound friends by flying into Galactus. After managing to repel Galactus, the Surfer is shown floating in space along with his Surfboard.
