Science fiction and social satire blend in this brilliant commentary on xenophobia and Apartheid, cloaked in the guise of a highly entertaining extraterrestrial action film. Thirty years after a group of malnourished aliens arrive on Earth as a last refuge, they are all segregated away from humans in a South African internment camp while the government runs inhumane tests on them and tries to steal their technology. When a company field agent contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9. Now part-man, part alien, he is out to expose the government’s treatment of the aliens and fight for beings from all planets.
