The boy and the girl in "Adam" are no ordinary characters, and their
romance is anything but familiar. Soon after moving in, Beth, a brainy,
beautiful writer damaged from a past relationship encounters Adam, the
handsome, but odd, fellow in the downstairs apartment whose awkwardness
is perplexing. Beth and Adam's ultimate connection leads to a tricky
relationship that exemplifies something universal: truly reaching
another person means bravely stretching into uncomfortable territory
and the resulting shake-up can be liberating.
Over twenty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans
waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology.
Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of
their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in
South Africa’s District 9 as the world’s nations argued over what to do
with them.
Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control
over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU),
a private company uninterested in the aliens’ welfare – they will
receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens’ awesome
weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry
requires alien DNA.
The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head
when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley),
contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus
quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most
valuable – he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology.
Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to
hide: District 9.
