Prometheus Summary
The Dawn of Man
In the opening scene of prometheus, you see an engineer consuming a vial of biomatter fluid from a cup which begins to immediately desiccate his body. As he is dying his body goes over the waterfall into the waters below and his altered DNA strand is released which eventually gives rise to the human race.
A Map to the Stars
The story then flashes forward to the year 2089 to the isle of Scotland, where 2 archaeologists, Shaw and Holloway discover a new cartouche with a similar drawing design featuring a tall slender figure pointing toward 5 star points. These star points are in fact an astrological map to the star system where they believe their creators dwell.
Riders on the Storm
The story then jumps forward to 2093 with a science mission well under way to the planet from which humanity believes its creators originate. The first crew member of the Prometheus we meet is the android David. David has spent the last 2 1/2 years monitoring the ships systems and has taken an apparent fascination with peeking into Shaws dreams for the last 2 years while they were in hypersleep. After viewing Shaws dreams, David is seen studying various language videos showcasing a fascination with Lawrence of Arabia, to the point that he actually changes his hair tone to match the hair tone to the character of Lawrence. While this is somewhat amusing, it ties in to the overall structure of creation and identity as it relates to David. Once the Prometheus finally reaches its destination LV-223, David proceeds to the hypersleep room to awake the crew when he hears grunting sounds coming from the life boat room of Meridith Vikers. Upon entering, he discovers Vickers has awakened. Vickers sees David enter her room and asks him if there have been any fatalities of the crew in hypersleep. After nodding no, David wakes up the crew.
Once the crew has had time to awaken from hypersleep, Vikers instructs Captain Janek that the mission briefing is going to be held in the gymn once everyone has been seated she loads a pre-recorded message by the head of the Weyland Corp who financed this mission. In the video, an aged Peter Weyland appears and tells them that for as long as man has existed we have asked the same questions "Where do we come from, What Happens after Death, What is our purpose". Weyland continues by saying that among you are 2 who believe as I do to finding the answers to those questions and asks that they step forward and reveal to the rest why they are here.
Holloway loads up a holographic slide showcasing different cartouche drawings but the single connecting factor was the star points that when loaded against star charts plots a destination to the only inhabitable planetary sphere in the system of space they are in. Shaw interjects by saying that the beings that left this map behind on Earth are Engineers. Fifield a Geologist by profession asks what is it that they engineered Shaw replies by stating "They Engineered Us" Milbern a Scientist points out that what you're suggesting would invalidate the whole concept of Darwinism. Once the briefing concludes Janek orders the descent into the planets atmosphere after doing a complete pass of the surface Holloway notices a man made runway and four dome like structures and asks the captain to park the ship there. The away team leaves for the domed structure.
Prometheus Unbound
Holloway, Shaw, David, Ford, Fifield, and Milbern enter the Bio-facility Fifield activates several bio-scanners that serve as 3D layouts of the structure they are in. David activates a security cam that loads footage from 2000 years ago showing Engineers running from something. The team follows the footage to a sealed door that David unlocks revealing a chamber with 1000's of Urns and a big giant humanoid face in the center. Shaw takes notice of the Mural's on the wall the 1st showcases a giant with a hole in his side and something fused to his hand the 2nd is of a Xenomorph outstretched with a face hugger behind it. Shaw and Ford bag the Engineer head and David lifts an Urn from the room after Shaw notices that the Mural's and statue are being degraded because of the oxygen that was reintroduced to the room not only that but its effected all of the urns causing them to leak Bio-matter throughout the room and anything living in that chamber is up for an upgrade. But before the horror begins the crew must race back to the ship before being stuck at the facility due to a magnetic storm. Everyone returns to the ship except for Fifield and Milbern. Mean while in the lab DNA result confirm Shaw and Holloway's theory these Engineers are in fact humanities creator.
In another lab David is taking apart the Urn and studying it much like a child inspects a new toy. He places a dot of the bio-matter on his finger and leaves to run an experiment. In the wreck room Holloway is in a drunken stupor about how he came all this way to get answers from Dead Gods and that he expected more. David asks Holloway why man created machine and Holloway responds because we could David retorts by saying imagine yourself asking your creator the same question and imagine how disappointing it would be. Unit 8 then mix's the bio-matter with the liquor he poured into a glass and hands it to Holloway and smiles as the drink is consumed.
Holloway enters his and Shaw's quarters the 2 make out Holloway unknowingly infects Shaw knocking her up with his viral semen leaving her with anything but a bundle of joy on the way. Meanwhile back on Prometheus scans pick up a life sign in the facility. Fifield and Milbern are goofing around in Ampule chamber when Milbern sees a snake like creature emerge from the bio-matter in the room. Milbern being the genius that he is clearly forgot the warning sign by the snake that read : Don't pet the alien life forms sometimes they pet back. A lesson learned the hard way as it ends up costing Milbern and Fifield their lives.
The next day a team is sent to retrieve Milbern and Fifield well they find Milbern with a creature in his mouth that enjoys playing surprise before swimming off Fifield is MIA and Holloway's body starts to dissolve like the Engineer at the start of the film. Shaw orders that quarantine measures be implemented immediately for everyone that entered the structure. Vickers races towards the deck and grabs a flamethrower not knowing what she's about to deal with. Upon seeing how much of Holloway's body is ravaged by whatever he was exposed to Vickers immolates him much to the hysterical pleas made by Shaw. When Shaw comes to she is undergoing a scan that reveals she is 3 months pregnant a fact that she disputes after all how could she be pregnant she's infertile but as David confirms she is quite quite pregnant with something non-human. David injects her with a sedative so that Ford and her assistant can reinsert her back in cryo sleep for the journey home.
When Shaw comes to she cold cocks both Ford and her assistant and runs towards Vickers lifeboat room where she saw the Med-pod. Shaw recalibrate the pod for the surgery needed slides herself onto the table the pod closes and begins scanning her abdomen and notices the life form. The Pod emits a laser across her lower stomach and prongs pull back her stomach as a robotic hand enters her body and removes the life form just as its gestation sach pops all over her. The Med-Pod then staples her shut but now Shaw is stuck with the creature she birthed wiggling over her as she slides out of the machine and exits the room but not before implementing decontamination protocol and locking the room down. Covered in blood Shaw staggers down the corridor's of Prometheus and collapses in med bay in front of David and a very much alive Peter Weyland.
Wrath of the Gods
David coldly quips to Shaw about her survival instincts and that he never thought "she had it in her" to do what was necessary to live. Weyland berates her because she wants to go home as nothing was as they thought but that request is short lived as David says that he will take his creator to meet the sole living Enginner on this moon. In her quarters Shaw is suiting up when Janek enters asking what she is doing Shaw responds by saying she is going back into the facility. Janek asks why as he now understands what happened here this is a research facility that was abandoned after the bio-matter from the Urns leaked he continues on by saying that non of what's on this world can come back with them.
David leads Peter Weyland a security officer and Shaw back into the Derelict. On the way to were the sleeping Engineer is being preserved they pass through a storage unit with hundreds of Urns. After reaching their destination David revives the Engineer and awaits instruction as to what to say to his creator's creator as he awakes. The Engineer looks at the humans in his presence and takes note of the synthetic being looking at him. As Weyland is about to speak Shaw in agony asks "Why did you make us, Why did you change your mind and seek to destroy us , Where are you from". Weyland annoyed by Shaw has his guard strike her. The founder of Weyland Industries turns his attention back to David who inquires about the secret of Immortality the Engineer realizing that David is an affront to his faith tares David's head off and beats Weyland to death with it then kills Ford and the guard.
Having just reached the surface Shaw pleads with Janek that he must stop the Engineer's ship from leaving for Earth. Janek tells Shaw that the Prometheus is not a warship but he says he will do what has to be done Janek orders Vickers off the ship as he plots an intercept course with the other ship with the intent of crippling it at the cost of himself and his two pilots. The Prometheus explodes into a wave of white flame sending The Derelict crashing to the surface below Shaw narrowly avoids being killed Vickers was not so lucky.Shaw makes it to the lifeboat and closes the hatch just as her oxygen runs out. Inside Shaw receives a message from David that The Engineer is heading in her direction Shaw takes the time she has and grabs an ax waiting for her God to come to her. Shaw approaches the door leading into Med-pod room and would have opened up the door had she not seen that tentacle pound against the door. A loud tearing sound is heard as the Engineer makes his way towards Shaw throwing her against the wall next to the control panel to where a fully grown version of the creature Shaw birthed waits to appear. The creature ensares the Engineer and narrowly misses grabbing Shaw. Shaw is too busy escaping the life boat to see how the tug of war match ends and makes her way towards the Derelict.
Inside the Derelict Shaw asks David for her necklace back he says its in his pocket. Shaw asks if there are any other ships that could be used to leave this moon. David says yes one that could surely take us home however Shaw has other plans. Shaw tells David that we came to find our creators and we did now I want to find their world to ask them why they changed their minds about our species. We see a Derelict rise and FTL in the sky sending it and its crew to parts unknown. Meanwhile back in the life boat a seed of life takes shape and emerges from the dead Engineer while not like the breed of Xenomorph seen years later it is of the same Genus.
