Year 2154. On a distant moon Pandora, a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery, as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization. AVATAR takes us to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where a corporate consortium is mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth's energy crisis. Because Pandora's atmosphere is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human 'drivers' have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora, the Na'vi. Directed by James Cameron
