But all alone on Earth, this endearing robot is rather bored. Until the day he meets another droid, the captivating EVE… A poetic, hope-filled film!

Jake, a paraplegic ex-Marine, is transmuted into the body of an ‘avatar’ created from human DNA mixed with that of the native inhabitants of the planet Pandora, the Na’vi.
