In 1996, serial killer Cletus Kasady meets and falls in love with Francis Barrison at their childhood home of St. Estes before she is taken away by the authorities to the Ravencroft Institute due to her mutating powers. In her transport, she attempts to escape using her sonic scream powers and attacks a police officer named Mulligan, who shoots her in the eye during the struggle and also suffers hearing damage in his left ear due to the attack. Though he believes to have killed her, she is later imprisoned in the facility, which is hardened against her powers.

In the present day, Mulligan, now working as a detective and wearing a hearing aid, hires Eddie Brock to meet with Kasady as he refuses to talk to anyone except for Brock. During their visit, Cletus and Eddie appear to strike up a deal: Cletus reveals the location of his victims’ corpses and shares secrets about his life and Eddie gains popularity for sharing the story and keeps Cletus off Death Row. But just as they’re about to leave, Venom shows Eddie the location on its own with the help of Cletus’s drawings in his cell. With the bodies discovered and Kasady losing his end of the deal, he is sentenced to be executed via lethal injection. He writes a letter to Brock inviting him to the execution. During their last interview before Kasady is sent to the injection chamber, Kasady insults Brock and unknowingly provokes Venom, who attacks him. To get him to let go, Kasady bites Brock’s hand, ingesting a part of the Venom symbiote through his blood. Brock then meets with his ex-fiance Anne Weying, who tells him that she is now engaged to Dan Lewis.

During Kasady's execution, a red symbiote suddenly appears and blocks the injection. It then proceeds to break Kasady free and introduces itself as Carnage, going on a rampage in the prison and killing many guards and freeing inmates before escaping. The two then make a deal, in exchange for helping Kasady break Barrison out of Ravencroft, he will help Carnage kill Venom so it can be the only symbiote on Earth. Mulligan then calls Brock about Kasady's escape, and that a city wide manhunt is now in progress. Unfortunately, Venom and Brock fall out when Venom, wanting more freedom to eat people, has a fight with Brock in their apartment, detaching himself from Brock's body before going their separate ways. Meanwhile, Kasady frees Barrison from Ravencroft before traveling to the ruins of St. Estes and burning it down.

Mulligan arrests Brock on suspicion with his interactions with Kasady and interrogates him, but he refuses to answer and contacts Weying as his lawyer. Brock says that Venom separated from him and that he needs him back in order to fight the symbiote. Venom, hopping from body to body, returns to San Francisco, and Weying finds Venom, convincing him to make amends with Brock. He bonds with her and they break Brock out of the police station, and Venom and Brock reconcile before bonding once again.

Kasady and Barrison then take Mulligan and Weying hostage, before Barrison gives Lewis information on their whereabouts, who passes it onto Brock. Brock and Venom confront the two at a church where they plan on getting married, and Venom fights Carnage. During the battle, Barrison seemingly kills Mulligan and Venom struggles against Carnage. However, Venom notes that Kasady and Carnage aren't symbiotic as Carnage constantly attacks Barrison due to her powers, which Cletus fights against. Venom then provokes Barrison to use her sonic powers again, which causes both symbiotes to separate but Barrison is seemingly killed when the church bell collapses and crushes her. With the church tower collapsing, Venom bonds with Brock once again, saving him, then eats the disembodied Carnage symbiote before it can bond with Kasady on the floor of the church. Wounded, Kasady says that all he ever wanted from Eddie was his friendship. Eddie is sympathetic but Venom isn’t and promptly bites off Kasady’s head.

In the aftermath, Brock, Venom, Weying, and Lewis flee the church as the police arrive, while Mulligan's eyes flash blue, revealing his survival. Brock and Venom later relax at a tropical island, wondering what to do next. In a mid-credits scene, as Venom tells Brock about the symbiotes' knowledge of other universes, they are suddenly teleported by a blinding light from their hotel room to another room in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, where they watch a news report of [[Film/SpiderManFarFromHome Peter Parker's exposure of his identity as Spider-Man]].
