Thirty 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, 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.
