Prometheus (2012) is a sci-fi thriller directed by Ridley Scott that explores the origins of humanity and the mysteries of the universe.
The story follows a team of scientists and explorers aboard the spaceship Prometheus as they journey to a distant planet, hoping to uncover clues about the creators of humanity, known as the “Engineers.”
Led by Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and funded by the Weyland Corporation, the crew lands on a mysterious planet and discovers remnants of an advanced civilization. However, their mission quickly turns into a terrifying fight for survival as they encounter deadly alien life forms and learn unsettling truths about the Engineers’ intentions toward humanity.
As members of the crew are killed off one by one, Dr. Shaw and the android David (Michael Fassbender) make a desperate attempt to escape, only to realize that the alien threat may be far greater than they initially imagined. The film combines themes of creation, survival, and the search for knowledge, setting up a prequel storyline that connects to the Alien franchise.
