"James Cameron's Avatar" is a science fiction film released in 2009. Set in the mid-22nd century, it follows a paraplegic former Marine named Jake Sully who is sent to the alien moon Pandora as part of the Avatar Program. This program allows humans to control genetically engineered bodies called Avatars that resemble the native Na'vi people, enabling them to interact with the environment and its inhabitants.
The film explores themes of environmentalism, imperialism, and the connection between humans and nature. It was groundbreaking for its use of 3D technology and visual effects, becoming the highest-grossing film of all time until it was surpassed by its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, in 2022.
