In the original storyline, Dr. Daniel Jackson (Spader), an accomplished Egyptologist, deciphers an ancient artifact known as the Stargate, which serves as an interplanetary portal buried beneath centuries of sand. Accompanied by the formidable military leader Colonel Jack O'Neil (Russell), a team embarks on a journey through the portal to a distant planet resembling ancient Egypt, only to confront the tyrannical alien Ra, who masquerades as a deity to subjugate the local people.
As Jackson and O'Neil unravel the true origins of the Stargate and join forces with the oppressed inhabitants of the planet, they spark a rebellion. Their mission transforms into a struggle not merely for survival but also for the liberation of an entire world, with the potential to reshape the future of humanity.
With new worlds to discover, a darker atmosphere, and deepened lore, Stargate (2025) seeks to revitalize the franchise for today's audience, blending nostalgia with breathtaking visuals, thrilling action, and enduring questions about power, identity, and freedom beyond Earth.
