| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth.
Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances
in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees,
the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were
set up in a makeshift home in South Africa’s District
9 as the world’s nations argued over what to do with
them.
Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control
over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National
United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens’
welfare – they will receive tremendous profits if they
can make the aliens’ awesome weaponry work. So far,
they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien
DNA.
The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a
head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto
Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing
his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the
world, as well as the most valuable – he is the key
to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and
friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide:
District 9.
