The story takes place in the year 2154 on Pandora, a lush, Earth-like moon of the planet Polyphemus in the Alpha Centauri star system. A corporation named RDA is planning to mine a valuable mineral called unobtanium. It has a private military force called Sec-Ops.

Jake, an ex-marine, on wheel chair is with an investigating reserch team. Up ahead is Pandora. His brother Tommy who was a scientist represented in a significant investment. Since his genome are identical to his, he could step into his shoes. In Pandora one has to wear masks and without masks one falls unconscious in 20 seconds and dies in 4 minutes. The carrier airplane lands in the outer boundaries of Pandora and everyone including Jake comes out. The commander Colonel Quaritch says to them than every living thing in Pandora which walks, craws, flies or squats in the mud wants to kill them and eat them. There is an indigenous population of humanoids called Na'vi. In the biolab there are remotely controlled bodies called Avatars. They are grown from human DNA mixed with the DNA of the natives. Jake sees the Avatars for him in the lab. Every driver is matched to his own Avatar so that their nervous system are in tune. Grace Augustine is the head of the Avatar program. She even wrote a book on Pandora botany. Norm Spellman a driver who was with Tommy in Avatar training program and Jake meets Grace who just came out from a driver's box controlling Avatar. Grace didn't want someone who was not trained at all. But he was assigned with the job as a security escort in her team. These avatars are being used to win their hearts and minds, teach them earthly ways, learn 

them english etc. But as humans exploit them for their greedy ends, the relationship is not still healthy. The team is after a high energy rock deposit named 'unobtanium' which sells for Rs.20 million a kilo. The natives are considered as a threat and the whole team is on the brink of a war. The avatar team's task is to find out a diplomatic solution. Jake and Norm enter the driver's box for Avatars. Jake's and Norm's mind are transferred to their new Avatar bodies. Jake was happy to know that his legs are normal in the new body. An 

overjoyed Jake in Avatar body runs from the lab. He enjoys the power of his legs, the touch of earth, the new refreshing air. Jake had a talk with the Colonel where he portraits some bad things about Pandora. He want Jake to study the core things in Pandora either to make them co-operate or to attack.

Now the Avatar team flies over the beautiful landscapes of Pandora. Trudy, the captain is flying the copter. Jake is armed with gun. The copter landed in a the Pandora forest. Jake, Norm and Grace are in Avatar form. As they explore the forest, aggressive and non-aggressive creatures are seen. Jake is chased by an aggressive creature 'Thanator'. Jake managed to a near escape from the mouth of the creature. He is separated from the pack. As night falls Jake prepares for self-defence. He is being watched by a native girl from a tree armed with bow and arrows. She is Neytiri, a Na'vi. As she aims arrow at Jake, a divine sign makes her to rethink of the plan. She saves him from panther-like predators of Pandora. Jake-Avatar is being caught by native people and brings him to their clan. He meets Eytuken, Neytiri's father and Tsutey, the next clan leader. Neytiri's mother Moat interprets the will of Eywa the god of native 

people. She engages Neytiri to teach Jake-Avatar their ways. Thus he joins the clan to learn their ways. He slees there and his human body wakes up in the driver's link box in the lab. In the lab Jake is shown huge deposits of Unobtanium beneath a huge tree which is 

sacred to the native people. Jake again enters the linkbox.

In Pandora he is being taught to ride in a six-leg horse-like creature. His hair in the head is joined with the creature's and a bond which Neytiri describes Sa'helu is born. Now he may tell it what to do with his mind. He could feel the creature's thoughts. This he can do with 

many creatures in Pandora.

Jake, Grace, Norm and Trudy set off to see the Hallelujah floating mountains. There in Pandora is another separate link unit fully managed by Grace. Jake enters the link box and goes directly to Pandora near Neytiri. Neytiri teaches Avatar how to fly Ikran. Ikran is a flying creature. One hunter must choose one Ikran and the Ikran in turn must choose the hunter and the bond is for the whole life. Jake-Avatar learns from Neytiri how the native people are connected with the forest and the living things. He learns from her that all energies are borrowed and once it has to be given back. He 

becomes a hunter and sets off to choose his Ikran. The Na'vi hunters moves to a group of Ikran. The Ikran who tries to kill Jake-Avatar is the one which chooses him. After a small battle he chooses his Ikran. When they train fly on their Ikran a Toruk(bigger than Ikran) chases them and however they managed to escape in the thick forest. No one rides the Toruk. Neytiri says that her grandfather's grandfather was Toruk Makto meaning Rider of the Last Shadow. He was the last ever rider of the Toruk. Toruk Makto brings the clans together in a time of Great Sorrow.

Now back in the lab, Jake talks with Colonel that he can convince the native people to relocate themselves so that men can obtain the resources of Pandora. Colonel gives him some more time. A ceremony is being held in the Pandora which makes Jake in his Avatar form part of the Omaticaya people. Now in the night Neytiri takes him to show the big tree of souls. There they mate. They fell asleep. Now in the morning the Colonel's party has started to destroy the forest. They came closer to the part where Jake fell asleep. In the lab, Jake was only preparing to enter in the link-box. When Jake woke up he saw the machine coming to destroy the forest. He asked them to stop and as it never stopped he damaged its signals. In the lab, the Colonel recognised Jake in his Avatar. Jake and Neytiri escaped.

In the clan, preparation for battle begins. Tsu'tey will lead the war party. Now Jake comes and tells them not to go for war as so many Omaticaya's will perish. Tsu'tey quarrels with Jake. And as Jake was about to tell everyone the real motive of his visit to Pandora, the 

Colonel reaches at the separate lab maintained by Grace at Pandora and interrupts the signals and opens the link box. Jake, in his Avatar form fell unconscious. Colonel realises that he can never make a deal with the Omaticayas and he prepares for attacking the home tree which was considered sacred by the native people. In order to prevent a bloodshed Jake convinces the partly leader Parker to permit him to talk to Omaticaya people to move away from there home place. Parker gives Jake one hour time for evacuating the native people. Jake enters the link box and the Avatar wakes up between the Omaticaya. Jake in his Avatar form talks to Eytukan the clan leader. To make them believe of the threat Jake tells everyone that he was sent by men to learn about Omaticaya. The whole clan including Neytiri was distracted hearing this. Jake and Grace were treated enemies by the people and they prepared for war against the attackers.

Thus the war begins. Tsu'tey with some hunters plans to fight the planes from above with the help of Ikran. Neytiri and others shot arrows at them. While Colonel and party launches real attacks on the clan near the big tree. Moat, saves Jake and Grace and tells them to save the native people. Jake leads them to the forest. While the Colonel orders fire attacks on the big tree inorder to make it fall, Trudy signs off from the attack. Now after the massive attack, the big tree falls resulting in much despair to the Omaticaya people. Neytiri's father dies in the attack. Jake has been expelled from the clan. Parker orders to stop the link signals and the Avatars of Jake and Grace fell unconscious in the Pandora. Jake, Grace and Norm were made prisoners in the lab. Trudy rescues them with the help of Max, a scientist. Colonel makes a failed attempt to catch them and Grace is wounded by that. Now Jake, Grace and Norm with the help of Trudy flies to the forest. They takes the lab with the help of war plane and moves deep into the forest. Jake enters the link box and wakes up in his Avatar. He need something special to do for gaining trust of the people who had outcasted him. He recollects the story about Toruk which Neytiri told him. He mounts on his Ikran and jumps on a Toruk. He makes up the bond with the big flying thing as soon as he jumped upon it and thus the Toruk came Jake's way. As Jake in Avatar form lands between the Omaticaya people on his Toruk, the whole clan reminded of the old story of the great Toruk hunter who saved the whole people from great sorrow. Thus reclaiming the trust of the Omaticayas, Avatar prepares for battle. Wounded Grace died after an attempt to pass her soul through the Eywa, the mother goddess under the tree of souls. 

Avatar moved to join other clans. Everyone joined on the call of Toruk Makto. While Max in the lab gives uptodate information about Colonel Quaritch's plan to attack. In the night Avatar Jake prays to Eywa under the tree of souls for help. The final battle begins. Colonel's army and Omaticayas are lined up in the sky. Armed men inside robots which sense the human movements enter in forest. Horsemen attacks them. But they are not a match for the machine robots and other armed men. Avatar-Jake and others opened battle in the sky. The large birds catches the war planes and throws it against the floating mountains. As the attack of Omaticayas weakened, the fierce creatures of Pandora joined the attack themselves. By this time, Trudy gives surprise attack to Colonel. But Colonel perished her. Avatar-Jake attacked the main war plane in which Colonel Quaritch was flying and as the warplane lose its control Colonel mounted on an armed robot and jumped into the forest. 

By this time Neytiri has made a bond with the Thanathor. Neytiri attacked Colonel. However Colonel managed to kill Thanator. As Colonel was about to destroy the link unit in which Jake was lying, the Avatar-Jake attacks him. But he was not a match for the machine-mounted Colonel. When Colonel was about to finish Avatar Jake, Neytiri's sharp arrows pierced his chest. Thus the war ends.

Jake was brought from the link unit by Neytiri to the tree of souls. There he was permanently transferred to his Avatar body. And thus Avatar opened his eyes to the new world of Omaticayas. Here the film ends.

The film portraits photorealistic 3D images and the future and prospects of 3D technology. It is said that the film took 10 years to complete. It grossed many billions in box-office around the world. Apart from technological enrichment the movie is a big success on the base of a great story. The film upholds true values and the screenplay is also good. It reminds of the connection of human with nature. It teaches a moral that the nature is to be preserved in its original form. Love and respect for other cultures, love beyond boundaries, and languages, colour, etc are some other morals we could find in this story. It portraits some courageous and strong hearted humans who have love for the nature. It gives a strong message that the nature will one day answer the cruelty done to it by humans and machines. 

In a 3D experience one could enter the exciting world of Pandora and feel like he is a part of the film. Avatar will ever be known as a trendsetter in the world of 3D films with a strong storyline. It is worth watching this great epic movie.
