Synopsis:
In the distant future, Jake Sully, a paraplegic war veteran, is offered a second chance in the military. He's transported to a planet called Pandora, where the world's armed forces have been put in a fierce battle against the planet's native species (the na'vi) for years, struggling to mine a vital energy source for earth, which rests under the na'vi settlement.
Jake takes part in a new war strategy, which involves regular human DNA being mixed with DNA fragments of the natives to form an AVATAR, which is essentially a human disguised as one of the creatures themeselves. Jake is told to act as a spy within the na'vi camp, learning their culture, and more importantly, weaknesses.
Being able to walk again whilst in his avatar, and somewhat wanting to prove that "he can pass any test a man can pass", Jake is fully devoted to the mission and journeys into hostile na'vi territory. But, upon arrival, Jake witnesses the mass slaughter and continuous destruction of the na'vi race first-hand, perpetrated by none other than his own troops. Instead of being the aggressive, blood-thirsty aliens they were made out to be, the na'vi are largely the victims of the war, harbouring a peaceful society which is under attack and risking total destruction due to the war forced on them by humans.
Jake knows he can't just stand by and do nothing about the annihilation, so he enlists the help of na'vi princess Neytiri, and turns the tables by giving the na'vi vital human intelligence, and ultimately leading them in an epic battle to fight for their land against the invaders.
