Two brilliant young archeologists, Shaw and Holloway, have discovered clues in cave pictograms from ancient civilizations across the world, all of which point to the same location in distant space. They have persuaded a mega-corporation, Weyland Industries, to fund the trillion-dollar mission for them to meet the beings they believe created life on Earth.
Rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language.
