“Prometheus” (2012) is a science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott. It serves as a prequel to the “Alien” series. The story follows a team of scientists and explorers on the spaceship Prometheus as they journey to a distant moon in search of the origins of humanity.

Led by archaeologists Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Dr. Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green), the team discovers ancient star maps that lead them to the moon LV-223. They believe that the Engineers, an advanced alien race, created humanity and left clues to their home world.

Upon arrival, the crew uncovers a complex filled with mysterious artifacts and the remains of the Engineers. However, their quest for answers soon turns deadly as they encounter a dark and dangerous force. David (Michael Fassbender), an android with his own agenda, plays a crucial role in the unfolding events.

As the team faces horrifying threats, they struggle to survive and uncover the truth about the Engineers’ intentions. The film explores themes of creation, the search for meaning, and the consequences of playing god.

The climax reveals a connection to the broader “Alien” mythology, setting the stage for future films in the franchise.
