Synopsis
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. 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.
