In 2154 the Resources Development Administration Aka RDA recruits Jake Sully a paraplegic and
former marine. His twin brother Tom who worked for the RDA was killed and now they need Jake
as his replacement for the avatar program on a planet called pandora because as his
twin and his genome is the only one that can activate Tom's Avatar. Jake agrees and is
put in a cryosleep chamber where he sleeps for almost six years as the crew travels to
the planet. When Jake arrives he meets the head and team
of the avatar program Dr. Grace Aaugustine and Dr. Norm Spellman who was also a friend
of Tom. He learns that Pandora's atmosphere is poisonous to humans and its land is ruled
by a species called the Navi 10-foot tall blue-skinned humanoids the Navy worship the
mother nature goddess Eywa in order to explore the land humans temporarily transfer their
consciousness to Avatars. A Human Navi hybrid that Humans have created and can only be activated
by its own biological owner. Jake and Norm enter their Avatar bodies for the first time
and Jake feels ecstatic to be able to walk and run for the first time in years.
He then meets Trudy a combat pilot assigned to the Avatar team who introduces him to the
Colonel Miles Quaritch. Colonel Quaritch comes up with a deal for Jake he will join the avatar
team on their expeditions but he will report everything he knows about the Navi and their
home tree which is sitting on the largest supply of Unobtanium in Pandora. The RDA is
mining this mineral to take back and sell on earth, in turn the Colonel will make sure
that the company funds the replacement for Jake's legs. Jake agrees.
He joins Grace and Norm as their escort on their research expedition. While the scientists
search for samples. A vicious beast called the Thanator attacks Jake, Tearing him away
from the group. He barely escapes with his life and is soon left in a jungle struggling
to survive, Until a female Navy named Neytiri saves him. Neytiri feels a strong attraction
to Jake's brave heart but thinks he is too stupid and naive. Seeds from the spirit tree
land on Jake and Neytiri takes this as a sign to take him to her clan the Omaticaya. He
is met with hostility especially from Tsu'tey the heir to the chieftain ship and Neytiri's
fiance. Jake meets the clan's chief and priestess Eytukan and Mo'at who also happen to be Neytiri's
parents. After much deliberation Mo'at decides to take in Jake and have Neytiri teach him
their ways of life. Jake settles in for the night with the clan
and he is instantly brought back to the Avatar stimulator. He reports everything he's learned
to Grace as well as to Colonel Quaritch. The colonel gives Jake three months to convince
the Navy to move or else they will be bombing their home tree. Grace grows suspicious of
Jake's dealings with the colonel, so she transfers the team to a remote outpost at the floating
mountains of Pandora. Over the next three months Neytiri teaches
Jake the ways of the Navi. She tells Jake that once he is ready he will have to choose
his own Ikran, a winged beast the Navi's used to hunt and he will finally become a warrior.
Jake learns to track and hunt the wildlife and also begins to understand the spiritual
connection between all the beings in Pandora. Soon enough Jake grows sympathetic with the
Na'vi and starts falling in love with Neytiri. Once he gets his first clean kill he Neytiri,
Tsu'tey and other Na'vi go to the floating mountains to get their own Ikran. They reach
the Ikran's nest and Tsu'tey orders Jake to choose first. In order to choose one the Ikran
must choose him first by trying to kill him. He manages to take down one of the beasts
and bonds with it through the nerve endings on his hair. Neytiri pushes them off the cliff
forcing Jake to fly with his Ikran to solidify the bond. As they're flying their Ikran Jake
and Neytiri face an almost ill-fated encounter with the Toruk, a mighty dragon-like beast
that the Na'vi's fear and worship. Only five Na'vi's in history have been able to tame
and ride the Toruk including Neytiri's great-grandfather. The three months come to an end and the team
goes back to the facility. Colonel Quaritch gives Jake the ultimatum but he asks the Colonel
for an extension just until his final ceremony is over and then he becomes one of them and
he can convince them to relocate. The day of the ceremony arrives and Jake is finally
accepted into the Omaticaya clan, Now that he is one of them Neytiri takes Jake into
the Tree of Souls. The Tree of Souls is one of the Na'vi's most sacred places where the
memories of their ancestors are stored. They can access these memories by tying their nerve
endings to the fibers of the tree. It is also one of the places with the most unobtanium
deposits. Neytiri tells Jake that he can now choose a wife he then proposes to Neytiri
who happily accepts. Under the tree of souls the two kiss and connect their nerve endings,
binding themselves to each other for the rest of their lives in the eyes of their goddess
Eywa. As morning breaks Neytiri is awakened by the
sounds of a large machine a Bulldozer has come from the RDA tearing up the Tree of Souls.
Neytiri tries to wake Jake but he is currently out of the stimulation and remains unconscious
by the time Jake wakes up he sees a frantic Neytiri dragging him away. He signals the
bulldozer to stop but it continues on plowing. He then climbs the machine and starts destroying
the cameras but the crew starts shooting at him. They run away with Neytiri sobbing as
she watches the machines tore down their sacred place. Meanwhile the RDA catches the footage
of Jake destroying the cameras and is able to identify him. Jake and Neytiri make it
back to the home tree where he tries to persuade Eytukan to relocate for the safety of the
clan. Tsu'tey attacks Jake accusing him of mating with his betrothed. Neytiri admits
to this and says it cannot be undone as they are now bonded before Eywa. At their outpost
Norm tries to stop the soldiers as they pull Jake and Grace from the simulators but it's
too late. Jake takes the opportunity to state his final plea but he and Grace faint before
he can say anything. They are brought back to the facility and Jake's true allegiance
is revealed through a video log stating that the Na'vi's will never give up their home.
Colonel Quaritch decides to pull the plug and bomb the Na'vi's away from the home tree.
Grace then tells the company that they can't destroy the home tree because it will destroy
the biological neural network native to Pandora. The Synapses connecting all of them together
like one enormous brain. The RDA isn't fully convinced but agrees to give the team one
hour to convince the Omaticaya to move. Grace and Jake regain consciousness in their
Avatar forms and Jake starts telling them about the RDA's plans. He then admits that
he was sent there as a spy but now things have changed. Hurt by his betrayal Neytiri
lashes out at him and leaves. Jake and Grace are then taken captive. The RDA sends hovercrafts
to the home tree and starts gassing them out. Refusing to run the Omaticaya fights back
but their arrows are useless against the heavy steel of the crafts. The hovercrafts then
fire the missiles at the natives and at the home tree. The tree immediately lights up
on fire as the Na'vi's make a run for their lives. Jack and Grace are tied to their post
unable to escape until mode approaches them. She sets them free telling them that if they
are indeed one of them then they should help them. The firing continues at the home trees
roots causing the trunk to finally break. The home tree topples over and kills a hundred
Na'vi's by crushing them on the ground. Neytiri searches for survivors and finds her father
with a shard to his chest. With his dying breath he bestows upon her his bow and arrows
and makes her promise to fulfill her duties. Jakes finds her in the rubble but Neytiri
pushes him away telling him to never come back.
Back at the facility Jake and Grace are taken out of the simulation once again and are arrested
while Jake's Avatar body collapses among the debris. As the avatar team lay in their cell
Trudy busts them out. They hijack one of the helicopters and escape unluckily Grace takes
a hit to the stomach. Jake patches her up as they make it back to their original outpost,
they relocated higher up the mountains where the RDA can't get to it easily. Jake gets
back into simulation and formulates a plan once he's back in his avatar form he calls
out his Ikran. Jake knows that there's only one way the Omaticaya will listen to him.
Together they hunt down the Toruk. With nowhere else left to go the Omaticaya
are forced to take refuge at the last remaining tree of souls. As they wait for an answer
to their prayers they hear a strong gust of wind behind them and gasp in horror as they
see the Toruk flying towards them. It lands on the ground and Neytiri is shocked to see
that Jake has managed to tame the mighty beast. This feat gains the awe and respect of the
Na'vi. Jake asks Tsu'tey to join him in the fight against the humans and he agrees. Jake
then brings grace to the Na'vi asking them to save her life. He takes her human body
to the tree of souls together with her avatar body and the clan performs a ritual to try
and transfer Grace's consciousness into her avatar form. But it was too late Grace's wound
was too deep and she died before the ritual was over. But Jake knows that the battle is
far from over. Together with Tsu'tey they rally up the Omaticaya
they then travel to neighboring clans gathering Na'vi's from the plains, seas and mountains
to join them in the battle for their homes. By the end of the day they managed to gather
over 2000 Na'vi's at the tree of souls. Through intel Jake learns the RDA's plans to bomb
the tree of souls he then forms a plan to lure them through the floating mountains and
then attack them there even before they reach the sacred place. Jake prays to iowa at the
tree of souls for guidance. As morning breaks the RDA launches the hovercrafts
along with the bombs the Na'vy clans wait for them among the floating mountains. Not
long after the clans from the plains take action in charge of the machine suit surveying
the grounds. The Na'vi's take the first fire flying around the hovercrafts and shooting
them down with their arrows. They managed to take down a few helicopters but the company's
armory is too strong. They launch fires at the Na'vi's with their guns taking down quite
a number of them Colonel Quaritch spots Jake on the Toruk and starts firing at him. Jake
escapes the line of fire luring the Colonel's hovercraft deeper into the mountains. Suddenly
Trudy and her helicopter intervenes she shoots fire at the Colonel allowing Jake to escape.
Meanwhile Neytiri's icon is taken down and she lands on the ground witnessing the devastation
that the humans have caused. Tsu'tey launches a heroic act at the main hovercraft taking
away a number of men unloading the bombs before he is gunned down and falls back to the ground.
The Na'vi's are overwhelmed as they retreat deeper into the forest suddenly the hovercrafts
pick up a different movement. In a matter of seconds various Pandorian Wildlife come
charging at the machines as the ikran overtakes the skies taking down the remaining crafts.
Neytiri interprets this as a sign of help from Eywa. Jake then lands on the main hovercraft
carrying the bombs and takes down their machine guns. He runs around the craft expertly avoiding
fire and launches a grenade at one of the engines. The craft goes down and blows up
among the mountains. He launches several more grenades at the Colonel's craft but Quaritch
manages to escape using a mechanical suit. The grenades blow up and Jake is tossed back
into the sky and lands back to the ground the Colonel survives the blow and starts hunting
down the outpost. Quaritch reaches the location of the simulators just in time as Neytiri
makes a launch at him Quaritch takes her down and traps her beneath the trunks of a tree.
As he's about to stab her Jake appears and fights him. Jake is able to hold him off breaking
his knife and the protective glass around the suit the Colonel gasps for air and then
starts targeting Jake's real body instead. He breaks open the glass of the outpost and
destroys the simulators. Jake stabs him on the neck as the Colonel drags his body. Neytiri
frees herself and launches an arrow straight to the Colonel's heart. She launches another
arrow to finish the kill. Meanwhile Jake emerges from the simulator dragging his body to reach
for the air mask the poisonous air knocks him out and he's unable to breathe Neytiri
realizes what's happening and she climbs inside the outpost and puts the air mask on Jake.
She sees his real body for the first time and they hold each other close. Back in his
Avatar form Jake and Neytiri find Tsu'tey who begs Jake to kill him off. So that he
would die a noble death, As he takes his last breaths Tsu'tey acknowledges Jake as his brother
and passes the chieftainship to him. Jake accepts this with gratitude.
The war is now over and the Na'vi's have Won. the facility is destroyed and the humans are
sent back on their ships to earth Jake, Norm and a few other humans are given permission
by the Na'vi's to stay. Jake is now crowned as the new chief of the Omaticaya clan. On
his new birthday he is taken to the tree of souls with Neytiri where they perform a ritual
transferring his consciousness to his new Avatar Body.
