Tony was going to propose marriage to Pepper Potts but he goes to space instead.

Spider-Man joins Iron Man on the Black Order ship to save Strange.
The surviving member of the Black Order is defeated because Spider-Man once watched the "old movie" Alien.
Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange travel to Titan instead of returning to earth because Tony's ego believes they can stop Thanos.
They can't.
On Titan, they're joined by half of the Guardians of the Galaxy. They fight briefly before working together on a plan to stop Thanos.
Strange uses the time stone to see 14 million different future scenarios where they battle Thanos.
They lose each of them except one.
Thanos arrives and the fight begins.

In possession of five of the six stones, Thanos transports himself to earth to get the final stone.

When Thor, Rocket, and Groot arrive at Nidavellir, they discover the fires of the star are extinguished.
Peter Dinklage is a giant dwarf named Eitri, and he's the only living survivor of a visit from Thanos.
Thanos previously spared Eitri's life in exchange for forging a gauntlet capable of harnessing the power of the infinity stones.
However, after getting the infinity gauntlet, Thanos put out the forge's fire and encased Eitri's hands in metal.
To forge a new weapon capable of killing Thanos, Rocket and Thor must restart the fire and open the doors to reignite the forge.
Eitri creates an axe to replace Thor's hammer.
Stormbreaker can kill Thanos, and it has the power of the bifrost so Thor can transport himself anywhere in the nine realms.
Bad news, the axe needs a handle.
Good news, Groot donates a limb to provide the handle.
Thor takes hold of his new weapon and teleports himself, Rocket, and Groot to Earth.

On Earth, the Secret Avengers (Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon) rescue Wanda Maximoff and Vision from a Black Order ambush.
They meet up with War Machine and Banner at Avengers headquarters where General Ross orders their arrest for defying the Sokovia Accords.
Wanda is the only person powerful enough to destroy the mind stone and Vision asks her to do it to prevent Thanos from taking it.
Instead the group travels to Wakanda to see if the time stone can be removed without killing Vision.
In Wakanda, the Secret Avengers, War Machine, and Vision meet up with Black Panther and Bucky Barnes.
Hawkeye and Ant-Man are unable to be there because they took a plea deal after Civil War and are under house arrest.
Bucky gets his biomechanical arm back and everyone prepares for battle.
Wanda and Vision remain with Shuri in the Wakanda science and medical labs to remove the mind stone from Visions head.
The remaining members of the Black Order arrive with the armies loyal to Thanos.
The Earthbound Avengers and Wakanda's tribes war the alien hordes.
Since Banner can't Hulk out, he's using Tony's Hulkbuster armor.
To save their friends, Wanda and Vision join the fight instead of finishing the procedure to remove the mind stone.
The heroes are about to be overpowered by the invading enemies.
Then Thor arrives and zaps the aliens with lightning.
Rocket is impressed with Bucky's robotic arm and offers to buy it.
Just as the invading aliens are about to be defeated, Thanos arrives.
The team is out of time to thwart Thanos so Wanda is forced to destroy the mind stone that is still attached to Vision's head.
The process kills Vision but the stone is shattered preventing Thanos from possessing all six stones.
Unfortunately, Thanos has the time stone and he uses it to rewind time, restoring the mind stone and bringing Vision back to life.
Then Thanos rips the mind stone off Vision's head, killing Vision a second time.
Thor jumps in and impales Thanos through the chest.
Thanos tells him he should have aimed for the head.

With all the stones in his possession, Thanos can achieve his goal of balancing the universe.
Thanos snaps his fingers and half of life in the universe dies. Those who pass dissolve into dust.
Thanos teleports to a new planet (perhaps a pocket universe inside the soul stone) and has a conversation with the childhood version of Gamora who asks if the cost was worth it.
He says it was.
Movie over. The villain wins. Roll credits.

Bucky Barnes dies.
Wanda Maximoff dies.
Black Panther dies.
Several members of Wakanda's army die.
Falcon dies.
Groot dies in front of Rocket Racoon.

On Titan, Doctor Strange dies.

On earth, cars and planes and helicopters are crashing because the people controlling them perished.
Maria Hill and Nick Fury are in a car crashed caused by a pilotless vehicle.
Maria and Fury both die, but not before Fury sends a page to Carol Danvers, AKA Captain Marvel.
