Synopsis:
Director Neill Blomkamp teams with producer Peter Jackson
for this tale of extraterrestrial refugees stuck in contemporary South Africa.
It's been 28 years since the aliens made first contact, but there was never any
attack from the skies, nor any profound technological revelation capable of
advancing our society. Instead, the aliens were treated as refugees. They were
the last of their kind, and in order to accommodate them, the government of
South Africa set up a makeshift home in District 9 as politicians and world
leaders debated how to handle the situation. As the humans begin to grow wary of
the unwelcome intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is
assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less interested in the
aliens' welfare than attempting to understand how their weaponry works. Should
they manage to make that breakthrough, they will receive tremendous profits to
fund their research. Unfortunately, the highly advanced weaponry requires alien
DNA in order to be activated. When MNU field operative Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto
Copley) is exposed to biotechnology that causes his DNA to mutate, the tensions
between the aliens and the humans intensifies. Wikus is the key to unlocking the
alien's technology, and he quickly becomes the most wanted man on the planet.
Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to District 9 in a desperate bid to
shake his dogged pursuers.
