Description
Stranded on Earth for twenty years, the aliens want to be free. Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), a government agent in charge of transporting the alien population from District 9 to a newer alien-only District 10, is accidentally exposed to a dark liquid from an alien device, and starts to get sick. Now considered a hazard, Wikus must rely on the “prawns” to save their kind, as well as himself.
The film uses this situation to tackle the issues of segregation in society, and the fear of the unknown. Neill Blomkamp directed the film from an adaptation of a short film he produced back in 2005, and was produced by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings).
