10 years ago, Nick is in a hotel with his father (Joel Gretsch). Nick's father tells him that one day a girl will give him a flower, and that he needs to help her, explaining "help her, help us all". He hugs Nick, and then telekinetically shoves him through a wall just before a team of agents, led by a maid they passed in the hall, burst in and subdues him. The head agent, Henry Carver (Djimon Hounsou) enters, and a force rips through, killing Nick's father. Cassie (Dakota Fanning) narrates. In 1945, Hitler started experiments to create psychic soldiers. Other countries took it up after WWII. Watchers are able to see the future in quick flashes and scenes. Movers can move objects and people with their minds. Pushers can "push" people into believing that certain things are or aren't true. Bleeders emit high-pitched sonic screams that destroy their targets (glass, internal organs...) Stitches can disassemble or reassemble any damaged tissue. Sniffs can take any object and get a history. Wipers can erase controlled amounts of memory. Shifters make objects appear to be something else, retaining approximate dimensions. Shadows are people whose ability is basically to block the effectiveness of other clairvoyants (Sniffers, mainly). Cassie is a Watcher. A drug is designed to boost their powers to turn them into soldiers, but they keep dying. Today, in a government facility, Kira (Camilla Belle) is being injected with an unknown substance, while Carver watches. The girl drops a glass marble, and appears to die. She suddenly revives & escapes, the glass marble obstructing closing doors, aiding her escape. Carver and his Mover Victor (Neil Jackson) discuss the fact that Kira is the first to survive the injection. She is also the first to escape with a vial of the drug, which could be dangerous in the hands of others. Nick is now grown, and a Mover. He bets on a roll of dice and loses when he fails to make them land correctly. He owes the other players $6,000. Two Sniffer agents from Division, Mack and Holden, show up. From them we learn that many Americans with powers have expatriated to Hong Kong to avoid Division. They start sniffing to find a trace of Kira, and leave when they don't, after warning Nick to stay out of trouble. Cassie arrives at Nick's apartment, never having met him before. She tells Nick of a case with $6 million. They talk, and Nick learns that Cassie's mother was abducted by Division. They are attacked by the children of the Pop family, (an organized crime family comprised of those with powers) another Watcher, (Xiao Lu Li, credited as "Pop Girl") and her Bleeder brothers. Nick and Cassie are caught by the sound and fall to the ground. Nick successfully Moves Cassie out of the line of fire. Pop Girl sees a vision of Kira sitting on a bench fading away, and stops her brothers from killing Nick. She says if they kill him now, they lose the girl, and that Nick will die regardless. Kira wakes up on a boat not far from the docks, near a Chinese fisherman with long fingernails. She sees a mirror that has "4100" and "Nick" written in her own handwriting. Cassie takes Nick to Teresa (a Stitch). Teresa was told to be there, and to help them, by Cassie's mother. Teresa repairs Nick. Cassie gives Nick a flower, convincing him to help her, as told by his father years earlier. Mack and Holden locate Kira, But she Pushes Mack into thinking that Holden killed his brother. He shoots Holden and Kira escapes. Discovering his blunder, Carver Pushes Mack to kill himself. Nick and Cassie head to a club based on Cassie's drawings, and meet ex-Division agent, Hook Waters (a Shifter). They tell him about the bead, and he makes a nearby woman's earring look like the picture Cassie drew. Hook also tells them about a Sniffer named Emily, who could help them track down the case. They take the fake bead to her. Emily (Ming-Na) takes the fake bead and shows them the identical, real bead she has been given. The beads in question had broken off of Kira's bracelet during her fight with Mack. They have been distributed by Carver to Sniffers across the country. Emily directs them to a pier where they find Kira, who fires a gun at Nick. He recognizes her as his ex-girlfriend, who he used to run cons with on Coney Island. Kira has had her memory wiped to escape Division. Cassie pulls Nick aside and shows him a drawing that shows her, Nick and her mother dead. Cassie wants to dump Kira, stating that she is changing the future for the worse, but Nick calls Pinky, a Shadow. They get a room, and Pinky promises to hide Kira from the Sniffers. Cassie finds a key in Kira's shoe which says "4100". She steps out and walks the streets, and Nick and Kira reconcile in the bathroom. Outside Cassie finds Pop Girl tracking her. Nick decides they need to split up. The next day, Pop Girl tracks them down, but Cassie sees her coming. They escape and Nick sends Kira away with Pinky. Nick uses Emily to track Carver, following him into a restaurant. Cassie waits outside. Carver tells Nick that Kira will die without consistent injections of the drug. Nick falters. Carver's men attack Nick, as Carver steps out to find Cassie. She tells Carver that if Nick dies, they lose Kira. Carver goes back in and orders Nick's release. Nick figures out that Pop Girl is able to track them because the future is predictable, and the only way to throw her off is to make the future unpredictable. Nick writes letters to Cassie, Hook, Emily, Pinky and Kira, and a last one to himself. After he gives them all the letters, he plans to get his memory Wiped of ever having written them. Kira, who is beginning to get sick, reveals to Nick that the case contains the drug. Cassie and Emily track the case to a building in HK, and also realize that the key opens a locker that holds the case. Pop Girl "Sees" this & draws the case and the syringe. Nick puts Kira in a cab with Pinky. She asks him when she should open her envelope, and he says, "when you start to doubt the truth." Pinky hands Kira, who is visibly sick and appearing to have trouble holding herself up, over to Carver and Victor. Pinky leaves and opens his envelope. Getting out of a taxi and meeting up with Nick, he says, "he knew he wasn't getting paid yet." They head to the docks, where they find the same old man who Wiped Kira. The old man tells Nick that a woman paid for Kira's Wipe 5 years ago. Nick pays the man, with the money Carver gave Pinky, to wipe the last 2 hours from his mind, and to read a red envelope afterwards. As the memory is wiped, Pop Girl loses the connection and is stunned. Hook passes through security posted at the base of the Shadowed building with Shifted credentials. He rides an elevator to the top floor, where an old woman points a gun at him. He tells her she has done well and that the job is over. She was placed there by Kira to hide the case from Division. Hook takes the case back to the room where Cassie and Emily are waiting, and makes an identically shaped red suitcase look like the Division case. Cassie takes the case, and exits the room. Nick wakes up in the same boat as Kira. He opens his envelope, and it says, "go home." Teresa attacks him when he gets there, having been sent by the Pop family. The Bleeder brothers take the case to their father. Cassie finds Nick, and Nick tells her to run in a random direction so no Watcher can track her. Cassie does as he says, but Pop Girl still finds her. Pop father finds the case with a Soy Sauce bottle shifted to look like a syringe. Carver tells Kira that she was an agent, but something went wrong when she took the injection. Cassie is traced by Pop Girl, but just as she is about to shoot, the Chinese man grabs her and Wipes her memory. He reveals that Cassie's mother paid for Kira's memory wipe, 5 years ago. Nick calls Carver and asks to deal the drug for Kira. When he gets to their room, she is dressed as an agent, and tells Nick their relationship was a lie. She and Carver make him take them to the location of the case when the Pop Family arrives. As the fight ensues for the case, Nick tells Kira that her memory of being an agent is a Push. Carver tries to Push him to jump off the building, but Nick injects himself with the drug & appears to die. Kira and Carver leave. Later, Cassie arrives & kicks Nick up. She hid the case in a dumpster outside the building. Nick had injected himself with soy sauce. Nick asks Cassie how long her mother has been planning all of this, and Cassie replies "probably since before I was born". Now, we understand that Cassie's mother allowed herself to be captured, to place herself inside the Division headquarters at precisely the right time to help Kira escape, and let everything else fall into place. The entire plot of the story was foreseen by her and manipulated into being by her actions. At that moment, Carver and Kira are sitting on a plane headed for the U.S. Carver is asleep. Kira looks worried, and is going through her purse, when she finds the red envelope. She remembers what Nick told her, "open it when you begin to doubt the truth." She opens it, and there is a picture of a slightly younger Nick and Kira smiling at a camera, with the Coney Island entrance in the background. On the photo is written, "Kill him. See you soon. Nick." She stares at the photo in shock, and then her eyes narrow as she stares at Carver. We see him in the reflection of her eyes, and his own eyes open as she says, "put your gun in your mouth. Pull the trigger," and the screen fades to black.

In July 2019, Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) lives in an isolated compound which strictly regulates its inhabitants' lives. There are hundreds of residents in the facility and all of them are very closely monitored via CCTV cameras and electronic implants in their bodies. This dystopian community is governed by a strict set of rules. The residents are told that the outside world has become too contaminated to support life with the exception of a pathogen-free island. Each week, one resident gets to leave the compound and live on the island by way of a lottery. Some residents have been at the compound for about 3 years and some for 7. Access to various sections of the compound is controlled by an arm band. This band also controls their diet and nutritional intake. Lincoln is friends Jordan Two Delta, a fellow resident at the compound. Lincoln tells Dr. Merrick (Sean Bean), a scientist who runs the compound, of his discontent with the plain white clothes everyone is given and the strict social controls, including the fact that he is not allowed to have any bacon for breakfast. Concerned about strange dreams Lincoln experiences that involve a speedboat (which is named Renovatio) and other unfamiliar items, Merrick inserts probes into Lincoln's body to monitor his cerebral activities. The residents are given a meaningless job to keep them busy, but nobody except Lincoln questions anything. New residents join the compound every once in a while, and are told that they are survivors from the real world. The new residents have no motor skills or language skills and have to be taught everything from scratch. Lincoln illicitly visits a power-plant basement where his friend, the technician James McCord (Steve Buscemi) works. While McCord is friends with Lincoln, but he is evasive about Lincoln's queries and tries to convince him that Lincoln has a sweet deal at the compound as he is special. Lincoln cannot understand why he is special. Later, McCord goes to work and enters a room where fellow workers bring out a nearly adult human being from an incubation pod. Dr. Merrick inspects the newly "born" human and says that it is a fine product. The human is given an arm tag and moved into the compound. A sterile room has hundreds of such incubation pods with human beings inside them at various stages of development. Meanwhile, Lincoln tells Jordan Two Delta about the bug he found, and soon thereafter Jordan Two Delta is selected for the lottery. Lincoln discovers a live moth in a ventilation shaft, leading him to deduce that the outside world is not contaminated. Lincoln captures and releases the moth and follows it to another section, where he witnesses two recent lottery winners being killed: one immediately after childbirth (for her baby, immediately after she had given birth), and the other (Michael Clarke Duncan) in the process of having his liver harvested. Security discovers that Lincoln has wandered into unauthorized areas and start searching for him. As Lincoln rescues Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson), a friend who has just won the lottery, Dr. Merrick realizes that Lincoln is beginning to learn the truth. While eluding security and escaping from the facility, Lincoln and Jordan learn that both the contamination of the outside world and the Island are myths, and that the residents are clones of wealthy sponsors, who intend to use them for organ harvesting or surrogate motherhood. Merrick's technology allows clones to incubate directly into adulthood. He tells sponsors and the government that the clones do not gain consciousness, but when Merrick hires French mercenary Albert Laurent (Djimon Hounsou) to kill or capture the escapees, he admits that the organs of unconscious clones inevitably fail, making them useless. Thus, he needs the clone's conscious in the compound. Lincoln and Jordan escape the compound and find themselves in the Arizona desert. They find McCord, who explains that all the facility residents are clones of wealthy sponsors and are kept ignorant about the real world and conditioned to never question their environment or history. McCord provides the name of Lincoln's sponsor, yacht designer Tom Lincoln, in Los Angeles and helps them to the Yucca Maglev station, where they board an Amtrak train to LA before mercenaries kill him. In New York City, Jordan's sponsor, supermodel Sarah Jordan, is comatose following a car crash and requires transplants from Jordan to survive. Lincoln also meets Tom, who gives him some explanation about the cloning institute, causing Lincoln to realize that he has gained Tom's memories. Tom seemingly agrees to help Lincoln and Jordan reveal Merrick's crimes to the public, but secretly betrays them to Merrick and Laurent, as he desperately needs Lincoln's liver to survive his cirrhosis. Tricking Lincoln into leaving with him, Tom brings him to an ambush that results in a car chase through suburban LA and ends with Lincoln tricking Laurent into believing Tom is the clone and killing him, allowing him to assume Tom's identity. Returning to Tom's home, Lincoln and Jordan give in to their romantic urges and have sex. Merrick surmises that a cloning defect was responsible for Lincoln's memories and behavior, resulting in him and every future clone generation to question their environment and even tap into their sponsor's memories. To prevent this, he decides to eliminate the four latest generations of clones. Lincoln and Jordan, however, plan to liberate the other clones. Posing as Tom, Lincoln returns to the compound to destroy the holographic projectors that conceal the outside world. Jordan allows herself to be caught to assist Lincoln's plan. Laurent, who has moral qualms about the clones' treatment after witnessing their fight for survival and learning that Sarah Jordan may not survive even with the organ transplants, helps Jordan. Lincoln kills Merrick with a harpoon gun, and the clones are freed, seeing the outside world for the first time. As Laurent seemingly gives up his mercenary life, Lincoln and Jordan sail away in one of Tom's boats together toward an island, fulfilling their dream of one day going to such a place.

The film begins on Santorini Island, Greece, during a wedding, when it is interrupted by an earthquake. The earthquake uncovers the Luna Temple, built by Alexander the Great to house his most prized treasures. The Luna temple was swallowed by the sea during a volcanic eruption in 330 BC, and by law, no one was allowed to record its exact location. Lara (Angelina Jolie) finds the location of the temple by studying the changes in ocean currents along the oceanic shelves after the Earthquake. Among these treasures is a glowing orb with a pattern resembling a code etched into it. Inside the temple, Lara also finds references to Pandora's Box. Lara finds this orb, but it is stolen by the crime lord Chen Lo (Simon Yam), who had followed Lara into the temple. Lara has to retreat as the entire temple collapses and sea water rushes in. MI6 informs Lara that the Orb was stolen from her by Chen Lo to deliver to Reiss, but they don't know why. MI6 says that Chen Lo and his gang, the Shay-Ling, are working for Reiss. Jonathan Reiss (Ciarán Hinds) is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist turned bio-terrorist who has been behind every act of bio-terror in the last 15 years. Lara tells MI6 that she saw references to Pandora's Box inside the temple. Legend has it that an Egyptian Pharaoh found the Cradle of Life in 2300 BC. This was the place where life began. There he found a box, the box that brought life to Earth. When he opened the box, all that was left inside was anti-life or Ramante. Life is about balance, so the box came with life and anti-life. The Ramante leveled the Pharaoh's army. Pharaoh tasked his finest warrior to transport the box to the end of the world. 2000 years later, Alexander reached India, where his army was ravaged by a plague after one of the men found a box among some remains. Alexander returned the box to the Cradle of Life. The key to finding the box, which is hidden in the mysterious Cradle of Life, is a magical luminous sphere that serves as a map, the one stolen by Chen Lo in Santorini, who plans to sell the sphere to Reiss. Lara is tasked by MI6 to find Pandora's Box, an object from ancient legends that supposedly contains a deadly plague. Reiss is in the business of creating bio-weapons and selling them to the highest bidder. Reiss had contracted Chen to acquire the Orb for him and demands $100 million each from his business partners in exchange for access to the bio-weapon coming out of Pandora's Box. Sean (Til SchweigerTil Schweiger) is Reiss's head of security. Lara analyzes the footage from the temple with Bryce (Noah Taylor), her technology guy. To help her track down Chen Lo and the ball, Lara recruits an old lover, Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler), a former mercenary and Royal Marine, who was in prison in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Terry worked for the Shay-Ling and knows everything about their methods and their hideouts. Lara offers an expunged record, 5 million pounds, and a new life for Terry in exchange for his help. Lara and Terry enter China. Terry takes Lara to the Shay-Ling HQ in the mountains. Meanwhile, Chen is holding on to the Orb to get more money out of Reiss. Reiss promises $12 million if Chen can also deliver Lara's body. At the Shay-Ling HQ, Chen tries to kill Lara, but she beats Chen and finds that the Orb will arrive at the Flower Pagoda in Shanghai at a designated time for handover to Reiss. She takes a medallion from Chen, which he had taken from her inside the Luna temple. Looking at the inscriptions on the medallion, Hillary (Chris Barrie as Christopher Barrie) figures that the Orb will be unlocked by sound. Lara and Terry fight in suburban Shanghai, but Reiss manages to take the Orb with him in a helicopter. Lara puts a tracking device on the Orb crater and tracks it to Hong Kong. Lara and Terry steal the Org from Reiss's lab (where Reiss tells her that he will use the buyers to release the virus but make money by selling the only antidote in the world) and leap off the then-under-construction International Finance Centre skyscraper in Hong Kong, landing on a ship out in the Kowloon Bay after taking the Orb from Reiss. The Orb later reveals the location of the Cradle of Life to be somewhere near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Lara sends this information to Bryce back at Croft Manor. After the transmission, it is revealed that Reiss and his men have infiltrated the mansion and captured Bryce and Hillary. Meanwhile, Lara and Terry begin to fall in love again, but Lara starts to back away from him. She seduces him one morning, then leaves him handcuffed to a bedpost, as she believes that at the lab, Terry had the chance to kill Reiss, and he did not take the shot. Lara meets up with Kosa (Djimon Hounsou), an African friend who serves as her translator, as they obtain information from a local tribe about the Cradle of Life. Kosa translates to the tribe's Chief, stating that the Cradle of Life is in a crater protected by the "Shadow Guardians." As the expedition sets out, Lara, Kosa, and the tribesmen with them are ambushed by Reiss' soldiers. Many of the tribesmen are killed by Reiss' soldiers, with some of the soldiers being killed by Lara in the fight. The fight ends with Lara surrendering to overwhelming odds as Reiss's helicopter starts to land. Reiss and Sean threaten to kill Bryce, Hillary, and Kosa unless Lara leads Reiss and his men to the Cradle of Life. Upon arrival at the crater, they encounter the Shadow Guardians, who kill immediately when they sense movement. Sean and most of Reiss's soldiers are killed by the creature. When Lara drops the Orb into the hole that opens the entrance to the Cradle of Life, the Guardians disappear. Inside the Cradle of Life, there is a pool of highly corrosive black acid, which holds the box, and where the laws of physics do not apply, as Lara and Reiss are able to walk (upside down) along the ceiling of the cave. Terry arrives, frees Reiss's captives, and catches up to Lara. Following a climactic fistfight between Lara and Reiss, Reiss is knocked into the acid pool by Lara after he is distracted by Terry. When the couple tries to leave, Terry attempts to take the box as compensation for finding it, but she staunchly refuses to let him. Despite her love for him, this results in Lara being forced to fatally shoot him in the stomach in self-defense, just after Terry draws his own gun, preparing to shoot Lara. Lara places Pandora's Box back into the pool and is tempted to open the box herself, but realizes that some boxes are not meant to be found.

The story starts off with a race, a race including Smoke, the King of Cali. Alongside him are the other members of his bike gang, the Black Knights, including Kid, a prospect. Kid, whose father is Smoke's mechanic/best friend, is anxious and impatient to start his life as a member of the Black Knights. He wants his father to look at him the same way he looks at Smoke. Kid's dreams are shattered, however, when Smoke's race gets out of hand and his father is hit + killed. Flash forward to a year later, where a now cocky Kid has joined forces with Stuntman. The two have been traveling California, hustling other racers out of their money. After another routine hustle, Kid runs into Smoke, and challenges him to a race. Smoke refuses, stating that Kid needs to join a gang and win some races before he'll be up to his standards. Prompted by Smoke's refusal, Kid forms his own gang -- the Biker Boyz -- with only three members, himself, Stuntman, and Primo, another free lance racer. The three set off, immediately building a following and gaining prospects. Along for the wild ride is Tina, a feisty young woman, who is drawn to Kid by is incessant devotion to her. During an annual party, Kid and Smoke are both enlightened by Kid's mother that Will, the man who raised Kid, is not his real father -- Smoke is. Smoke is shocked, but Kid couldn't be more angry. After fighting with his mother, he leaves home and moves in with Tina, determined to beat out Smoke and the Black Knights. Unable to wait for success, Kid begins hustling again, despite it being against code. After Smoke saves him from being killed by another gang in Fresno, Kid challenges him to a race, the stakes being the end of racing for both of them. The gangs travel to Fresno, where Kid races Dogg. The race ends badly and it looks as if Kid won't be able to race against Smoke the next day, seeing as his bike is totaled. Dogg, however, comes through and lends Kid his bike, with hopes that Kid will beat smoke and put an end to his reign as King of Cali. The next day, the two gangs meet up and set their terms before Kid + Smoke head off to the path they'll be racing on. The race starts normal for Kid, but Smoke has already gone in the zone, everything but the road ahead of him blurring out of vision. Suddenly, Smoke's tunnel of thought is filled with memories, of everything since the night Will was killed. During this, Kid comes into the zone, his mind focusing on nothing other than the road. As the two edge closer to the finish line, Smoke lets up, allowing Kid to beat him. As the movie ends, Kid and Smoke come to an understanding, and Kid allows Smoke to keep his helmet and his right to race.

Enslaved Africans on a ship stage a mutiny but it goes wrong and they end up charged with murder in the USA. An enthralling courtroom battle ensues, capturing the entire nation.

A huge alien spacecraft landed in a North African Village in 8000 BC. As most people ran away from the spacecraft, one man stood up and walked towards it. The man was "taken" by the spaceship. In 1928, Professor Langford discovers a massive stone ring in the sands of Giza, Egypt. When the ring is lifted, it reveals inscribed cover stones underneath them presumably with instructions on how to operate the rings. In the present day, Langford's daughter Catherine (Viveca Lindfors) offers Egyptologist Daniel Jackson (James Spader), a down-on-his-luck linguistics professor, the chance to translate ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that may prove his controversial theory regarding the Pyramid of Khufu. Jackson is an archaeologist and linguist whose theory was that the pharaohs of the Fourth Dynasty did not build the Great Pyramid of Giza. The scientific community does not believe in Jackson's theory, who says that the pyramids (the most significant structure, if built by the Egyptians), did not have any writings inside. Jackson accepts and travels to a US Air Force installation inside Creek Mountain, Colorado. Dr. Barbara Shore (Rae Allen) and Dr. Gary Meyers (Richard Kind) are researchers who were studying the cover stones recovered in 1928 in Egypt. Major General W. O. West (Leon Rippy) is the commanding officer of the facility housing the ring device & the cover stones. Rippy re-activates Colonel Jack O'Neil to take command of the project. O'Neil had recently lost his son and was contemplating suicide when contacted by West's men. Jackson translates the hieroglyphs on the stone ring's cover stones, which read: "A million years into the sky is Ra (Jaye Davidson), sealed and buried for all time, his Stargate." Formerly retired Special Forces Colonel Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell) arrives to take command of the project and declares it classified. O'Neil tells Catherine is that he has been assigned to the project in case she succeeds. Jackson deduces that the symbols are star constellations that are coordinates for a location within space. Jackson says that there are 7-star constellations on the cover stone. 6 points are needed to exactly determine a point in 3-dimensional space and the 7th symbol is the point of origin. Jackson finds the 7th symbol at the base of the cover stone, which was a pyramid with a sun directly overhead (perhaps symbolizing the Earth). At this point, O'Neil reveals the existence of the ring to Jackson, which is the Stargate from Jackson's translation. The Stargate is made of a mineral not found anywhere on Earth. The symbol sequence is entered into the star-gate, creating a wormhole to a location in another galaxy on the other side of the known Universe (which is determined by sending in a mechanical probe and the signal from the probe charts its position on the map of the Universe). The probe also reveals that there is a corresponding gate on the other side, and that the air composition is exactly the same as of Earth. Jackson says that he can translate the symbols on the other star-gate and chart a path home. Jackson is included in the away team, and Catherine gives him a medallion that she found with the Stargate. O'Neil leads a team through the Stargate, and they find themselves inside a pyramid in the middle of vast sand dunes. The members of O'Neil's team includes Lt. Louis Ferretti (French Stewart), Lt. Freeman (Christopher John Fields), Senior Airman Brown (Derek Webster), Senior Airman Reilly (Jack Moore) and Lt. Porro (Steve Giannelli). O'Neil brings in a large amount of equipment which he leaves inside the pyramid. The world they are in has the pyramid and 3 moons orbiting the planet. Jackson reveals they cannot dial home because the Stargate coordinates to go back to Earth are missing. He says that the Stargate on Earth had the cover stone, and a similar cover stone is required to get the coordinates for the return journey. Jackson says that he assumed that the cover stone would be next to the star-gate, which is not the case. O'Neil secretly assembles a nuclear bomb inside the Pyramid, which he had brought along with him. Some team members stay at the pyramid while Jackson, O'Neil, and others go out and discover a mining village inhabited by humans who assume them to be gods sent by Ra, when they see the medallion hanging around Jackson's neck. Kasuf (Erick Avari) is the local leader of the tribe. The mineral that the villagers are mining is the same as that of the Stargate. Jackson realizes that the people speak a dialect of Ancient Egyptian and begins communicating with them. The team develops friendships with the people; O'Neil with Skaara (Alexis Cruz), and Jackson begins a budding romance with Sha'Uri (Mili Avital), a daughter of the leader. Jackson learns from hieroglyphs in the catacombs how the Egyptian god Ra was actually an alien life-form who enslaved humans with his advanced technology. While these humans eventually rebelled and buried the Stargate, some had been taken to the other planet through the Stargate and used to mine the Quartzite-like mineral on which all of Ra's technology is based. Fearing another rebellion on this planet, Ra outlawed reading and writing. At this point, the team from Earth discovers the cover stone to get back to Earth, but the seventh symbol is eroded away. O'Neil orders the team to return to the pyramid. A short time later, a huge spacecraft lands on top of the pyramid. All team members in the pyramid are either killed or taken into the pyramidal craft. O'Neil and Jackson are escorted to the throne room, where they meet Ra. Despite wearing fearsome armor, Ra's guards and servants are human children. Ra reveals his intention to send the atomic bomb brought by O'Neil, which was to be used to destroy the Stargate to prevent invasion by any threat, back to Earth; it is now enhanced with his Quartzite-like material to produce cataclysmic results. O'Neil attempts to disarm the guards and kill Ra but relents when Ra uses his children courtiers as human shields. Jackson is killed during the altercation. O'Neil is thrown into a dungeon with the captured team members, while Jackson is regenerated in a sarcophagus-like device. Ra states that he will kill Jackson and everyone who has seen him unless Jackson kills the rest of the team to show the villagers that Ra is their one true god. However, once Ra has the local people gathered before the pyramid craft, several young villagers signal to Jackson that they have recovered the team's weapons. Jackson then shoots at Ra while the kids create a distraction. O'Neil, Jackson, and the rest of the team flee Ra's ship and take shelter in a cave with the boys. The next morning, when Skaara draws a picture of the people's victory against Ra, Jackson realizes that part of this drawing depicts the seventh symbol needed to reactivate the Stargate: three moons over a pyramid. O'Neil convinces the locals that their "gods" are mere mortals and, with their help, O'Neil, Jackson, and the remaining members of the team make it back to the Stargate hoping to deactivate the bomb. When the locals begin an open rebellion against Ra's troops, Ra decides to retreat and prepares his ship for takeoff. Sha'Uri is killed in the battle, but Jackson resurrects her in Ra's sarcophagus and manages to escape when O'Neil activates the ship's ring transporter. Unable to deactivate the bomb, O'Neil and Jackson transport the bomb to Ra's ship in orbit via the ring where it explodes, killing Ra. The team is able to return to Earth through the Stargate, though Jackson decides to remain on the planet.
