The film takes place eight years after Harvey Dent's death in the Dark Knight.
It starts with a CIA-organization picking up nuclear physicist Dr. Pavel and two henchmen who worked for Ra's alGhul's League of Shadows. They begin interrogating the henchmen on the plane, asking them for information on a mercenary named Bane (Tom Hardy). It is revealed that one of the hooded henchmen is Bane, and the CIA plane is attacked and destroyed in mid-air, but only after Bane and Dr. Pavel have escaped.
Meanwhile back in Gotham City, Commissioner James Gordon (Gary Oldman) is considered a hero, but family has left him. Batman has not returned, and Bruce Wayne is crippled and a recluse, still mourning to this day the loss of Rachel Dawes. We discover that Wayne Enterprises is struggling under the leadership of Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), mainly because Bruce has not allowed them to activate a nuclear fusion energy reactor that they built with the contributions of wealthy philanthropist Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard).
We later learn that Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard) is Talia al-Ghul, Ra's al-Ghul's (Liam Neeson from 'Batman Begins') daughter. Bane (Tom Hardy) was her protector as a kid.
Their goal is to continue Ra's plan to destroy Gotham City, using a nuclear fusion device Tate developed with Wayne Enterprises that Bane had turned into a nuclear bomb.
Batman approaches the Cat to ask her for her help to find Bane. She agrees, but really is leading him into an ambush. Batman is completely over-matched, and Bane breaks his back. Then, Bane reveals that his lair is under Wayne's secret armory, and Bane and his men invade it, taking over all of Batman's batmobiles and technology. Bane takes Bruce and says he wants to destroy his spirit, throwing him in the prison he grew up in and forcing him to watch the horrific events in Gotham on TV. The only way to escape the prison is to climb up a well, but only one person (Bane) has ever successfully accomplished this goal. Bruce begins rehabbing his body in the prison. Bane also steals the core to the energy reactor and has Dr. Pavel convert the core into a bomb then kills him.
Bane reveals to Gotham the truth about Two-Face, exonerating Batman of Harvey Dent's crimes.
During the final battle, Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) kills Bane with missiles from the Batpod. Batman (Christian Bale) "supposedly" sacrifices his life by transporting the bomb away from Gotham via his flying vehicle, dying in the ensuing nuclear blast.
Gotham City erects a statue in Batman's honor, and Commissioner Gordon rebuilds the Batsignal for symbolism.
Alfred tracks the coordinates of Bruce's last transmission to an outdoor restaurant in Europe. There he sees Bruce sitting with Selina (Hathaway).
Back in Gotham, Wayne Manor has been made into an orphanage in the names of Bruce's mother and father.
John Blake's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) full name is revealed to be 'Robin John Blake'. He is given the coordinates to the waterfall entrance to the Batcave by an unknown source, and the film ends with him discovering Batman's armory.
