District 9 
Set in a disintegrating Johannesburg slum that's been home to thousands of shipwrecked aliens since the 1980s, District 9 kicks into gear as inter-species tensions hit boiling point. As the authorities begin preparations to move the Prawns (the nickname given to the aliens) to a new camp far outside the city limits, naive civil servant Wikus Van De Merwe (Sharlto Copley) stumbles across a valuable piece of 'Prawn' bio-technology and soon finds himself being hunted through the refugee ghetto by a corporate militia hoping to unlock the secrets of alien weaponry. Produced by acclaimed director Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings, King Kong), District 9 is an instant sci-fi classic that will satisfy even the most hardcore fans.
