Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), an ex-Marine combat veteran, from 22nd century Earth who was who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down. He is shipped to Pandora, a lush jungle-covered extraterrestrial moon that orbits a gas giant, to participate in the Avatar program as a scout for the soldiers that will follow.

However, much like Earth's history with the colonization of Native American territory, Pandora is home to the sentient blue humanoid race known as the the Navi. Although, like the American Indians, the Navie are considered primitive, they stand three meters (10 feet) tall, with tails and sparkling blue skin, living in harmony with their unspoiled world. ... and they wear feathers and loin cloths and have braids... just like Indians! Do you see the inevitable coming?

The evil, greedy bastard humans encroach deeper and deeper into Pandora's forests, searching for valuable minerals. But those pesky blue native Injuns keep getting in the way as they strive to defend their threatened existence, way of life and their lush sacred environment. Humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, so they have created genetically-bred human-Navi (clone?) hybrids known as Avatars. The Avatars are living, breathing bodies that are controlled by a human "driver" through that has his mind "linked" to the Avatar body. This is where Jake comes in.

On Pandora, through his Avatar body working as a Scout for the military, Jake can be whole once again. He is sent deep into Pandora's jungles and encounters many of Pandora's natural beauties and hazardous dangers. In the process of executing his mission, young Jake, who now has the ability to exercise his reproductive organs once again, he meets a young... hot.. scantilly clad warrior Navi female, Neytiri, whose raw battle prowess is matched only by her sexy bod! Can you say Pocahontis? Through Neytiri Jake eventually integrates himself into her clan, and ultimately falls in love with the scantilly clad, tall, buff hotty. Unfortunately, the hormone crazed Jake finds himself caught between his own people, comprising of the onslought military-industrial complex from Earth, and the pretty, blue, native, peaceful, living-in-harmony-with-nature Navi, forcing young hormonally driven Jake to choose sides in the inevitable epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world. See what screwing native women does to you?? See?!! Makes a man forget his mission! His country! His FRIGGIN PAYCHECK! Poor Jake has lost his way and gone native. tsk, tsk. Now poor Earth will have to do without the precious, valuable minerals that can only be found on Pandora.

The moon that Jake is sent to is called Pandora. In case you don't know your Greek Mythology, Pandora is the first woman on Earth, created by Hephaestus, by order of Zeus, using water and earth. But, to understand Pandora's creation one must also know of Prometheus.

Prometheus, a titan, brother to Atlas, helped Zeus overthrow Cronus and the other Titans, but eventually stole fire from Zeus himself and gave it to man, down on Earth. Totally pissing Zeus off, Prometheus is punished for his crime (Adam and Eve anyone?) and is bound by Hephaestus to Mt. Caucasus where a great eagle eats his liver every day only to have it grow back and to be eaten again the next day for the rest of his life.

It is at this point that Zeus, now totally pissed off at Prometheus, orders Hephaestus to create Pandora as part of his scheme to punish Prometheus. The gods then gifted her with many talents; Aphrodite gave her beauty, Apollo music, Hermes persuasion, and so forth. Hence her name: Pandora, "all-gifted".

Now, fire was just one the many gifts given to mortal man by Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus. After their gifting, Epimetheus was then warned by Prometheus to never, ever, EVER accept a gift from Zeus. But Epimetheus was an idiot and Zeus counted on it. Zeus sent Hermes with Pandora as a GIFT to Epimetheus, who gladly accepted her. Until that time men lived free from all ills, toil, and sicknesses. But, to Epimetheus' dismay, Pandora opened the jar that contained all the "gifts" of the gods, and scattered the evil afflictions everywhere on Earth. She closed the jar, but too late, for all but Hope had escaped and Hope is all that remained inside the jar. Ever since then, those evils have afflicted mankind as a reminder that there is no way to escape the will of Zeus. Such is the punishment of man for accepting Prometheus' gift.
