Plot: When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.

Quotes:
Jake Sully: Yeah, why save me?::Neytiri: You have a strong heart, no fear. But stupid, ignorant like a child.
Corporal Lyle Wainfleet: [Jake gets down from the ship with a gun. Wainfleet follows]::Dr. Grace Augustine: [to Wainfleet] Stay with the ship. One idiot with a gun is enough.::Corporal Lyle Wainfleet: You the man, Doc.
Dr. Grace Augustine: [after getting shot by Quaritch in the airship as they're flying away from the hangar] This is gonna ruin my whole day!
Jake Sully: [to Tsu'tey] With your permission, I will speak now. You would honor me by translating.::[to the assembled Na'vi as Tsu'tey translates in Na'vi]::Jake Sully: The Sky People have sent us a message... that they can take whatever they want. That no one can stop them. Well, we will send them a message. You ride out as fast as the wind can carry you. You tell the other clans to come. Tell them Toruk Macto calls to them! You fly now, with me! My brothers! Sisters! And we will show the Sky People... that they cannot take whatever they want! And that this... this is our land!
Trudy Chacon: [to the others on the airship while flying by the Hallelujah Mountains] You should see your faces!
Jake Sully: Everything is backwards now, like out there is the true world, and in here is the dream.
Col. Quaritch: You haven't got lost in the woods, have ya? Your last report was more than 2 weeks *ago*. I'm startin' to doubt your resolve! The way I see it, it's time to terminate the mission.::Jake Sully: I can do this.::Col. Quaritch: You already have. You gave me good, usable intel on this Tree of Souls place. Yeah, I got them by the balls with that when this turns into a shit fight - which it will. Now it's time to come in. By the way, you gon' get your legs back. Yeah. I got you corporate approval. Gonna have you on a shuttle tonight. I'm a man of my word.::Jake Sully: I gotta finish this. There's one more thing. A ceremony. It's uh, it's the final stage of becoming a man. If I do it, I'm one of them. Now trust me. And I can negotiate the terms of their relocation.::Col. Quaritch: [as he gets up to leave] Well, then you betta get it done, Corporal.
Col. Quaritch: A recon gyrene in an Avatar body... that's a potent mix! Gives me the goosebumps!
Col. Quaritch: [after Jake has failed to get the Omaticaya to evacuate] Well, well, well. I'd say diplomacy has failed.
Neytiri: Eywa has heard you... Eywa has heard you!
