Avatar is a movie about an Earth company (the RDA) that is trying to extract a rare and valuable mineral, Unobtainium, from the moon Pandora, located in the Alpha Centauri star system. There is an intelligent race called the Na'vi which are indigenous to the moon. The movie follows a soldier named Jake Sully who assumes his dead brother's place in the AVTR program, where people neurally connect to a lab grown, organic human-Na'vi hybrid called an "avatar". In this body he attempts to befriend the natives to work out a peaceful mining solution. The Na'vi are a very spiritual people who have a strong connection to nature and their environment and are against the mining. Jake becomes torn between the ways of his own race and the deep beliefs of the Na'vi, and eventually betrays humanity. The movie touches upon the idea of how far humans will go to get what they want, no matter what the cost.
