In 1982, a massive star ship bearing a bedraggled alien population, nicknamed "The Prawns," appeared 
over Johannesburg, South Africa. Twenty-eight years later, the initial welcome by the human population 
has faded. The refugee camp where the aliens were located has deteriorated into a militarized ghetto 
called District 9, where they are confined and exploited in squalor. In 2010, the munitions corporation, 
Multi-National United, is contracted to forcibly evict the population with operative Wikus van der Merwe 
in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to a strange alien chemical and must rely on the help of 
his only two new 'Prawn' friends.
