| Story: |
The story's hero is Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair.
Bitter and disillusioned, he's still a warrior at heart. All Jake ever
wanted was something worth fighting for, and he finds it in the place he
least expected: on a distant world. Jake has been recruited to join an
expedition to the moon Pandora, which corporate interests are strip-mining
for a mineral worth $20 billion per kilogram on Earth. To facilitate their
work, the humans use a link system that projects a person's consciousness
into a hybrid of humans and Pandora's indigenous humanoids, the Na'vi.
This human-Na'vi hybrid - a fully living, breathing body that resembles
the Na'vi but possesses the individual human's thoughts, feelings and
personality - is known as an "avatar."
In his new avatar form, Jake can once again walk. His mission is to interact with and infiltrate the Na'vi with the hope of enlisting their help - or at least their acquiescence - in mining the ore. A beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, albeit reluctantly, because even in his avatar body, Jake represents to her the human encroachment on the Na'vi's unspoiled world. As Jake's relationship with Neytiri deepens, along with his respect for the Na'vi, he faces the ultimate test as he leads an epic conflict that will decide nothing less than the fate of an entire world. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
