"Prometheus" (2012), directed by Ridley Scott, is a science fiction film that serves as a prequel to the Alien franchise. The story follows the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as they embark on a mission to discover the origins of humanity. Led by archaeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green), the team explores a distant moon where they encounter ancient alien structures and uncover a threat that could endanger all of mankind. Michael Fassbender plays the android David, and Charlize Theron plays mission director Meredith Vickers.
The story begins in 2089, when Shaw and Holloway find a star map in Scotland, and the ship reaches the moon LV-223 in 2093. LV-223 lies in the Zeta Reticuli system, the same region of space as LV-426, the planetoid of "Alien" (2122). It is the earliest film in the Alien timeline, and its story continues in "Alien: Covenant" (2104).
Following clues to the origin of mankind, a team finds a structure on a distant moon, but they soon realize they are not alone.
