Plot: In a tiny spaceship voyaging through the unlimited space, a sleeping capsule was beeping. In a couple of minutes, the beeping sound stopped and the capsule was opened and showing us a man (Christian Bale) who is just wake up from his deep sleep. He puts on his shirt and headed straight to the cabin where robots are controlling the wheel of the spaceship. He talks to the robot, they refer to him as "Mr. Earthling". They told him that he has been asleep for 3 thousand years, and they have been voyaging across the universe and now they are heading back to Earth. He sits and the robots bring him coffee while reading the data that the robot had been gathered for 3 thousand years. He is thinking about what is the point of him to be back to Earth, he assumes that everyone he knows has already died because of the time he already left the Earth. And they set their destination to the solar system, on the halfway to the solar system.
A very big supernova-like explosion occurred, Mr. Earthtling and the robot are forced to turn their wheel to escape the explosion wave of the supernova. The emergency red light had turned on inside the spaceship with the robot giving advise to Mr. Earthling to escape with an emergency capsule that will put him in the deep-sleep and land him to the nearest planet. But Mr. Earthling put the wheel into manual state instead and take the wheel himself then turn the spaceship, but because of the explosion wave, the spaceship was thrown all over the place. But fortunately, they survived. Mr. Earthling relieved and release a heavy breath from his mouth and continue their way to the solar system
They have arrived in the solar system, but they can't find Earth. Mr. Earthling becomes panic and asks the robot what had happened and they calculated that the earth has already died because of the pollution that the earth has. He asks where he should live and the robot suggested that he could live in Mars cause they found a sign of human colony on Mars. He agreed and ask the robot to take him to mars.
He arrives at the red planet and it is not more than a red-sand desert, he walks through the red dust until. He heard the tapping sound like a horse's shoes and he glances to his right and sees a human wearing an astronauts suits like him with his horse wearing something similar to it. He waves at him assuming that he will get a nice human-to-human treatment but he was wrong, the person on the horse throws a lasso and tied him with it then drag him to a city before another person that he assumes as some kind of mayor. They are in a kind of courtroom, and he was judged to stay in the prison without having any chance to defend himself, he was guilty to trespass the intergalactic border of the Great Human Empire that spread for the entire solar system.
Mr. Earthling learned that human had been colonizing the entire solar system and make it into a big empire, the colony must use special suits outside of the building, that suit includes a virtual assistant for people in the high places and variety of colors that show their status in the intergalactic society. For example, the highest level of people using a golden colored suit and the lowest are using brown and for him as a prisoner, he uses a black suit. He was thrown to jail, he tried hard to break out from the jail. He contacts his robot back in the spaceship but it cannot connect.
He stayed there for a year and have been tortured since, and in one night, when he was sleeping a kind of ninja break inside his cell and wake him up. He was surprised but his mouth closed by the ninja (Georgie Henley) and so he can stop shouting in shock. She reveals herself, she said that she is a member of the Great Human Rebels they exist to overthrow the emperor and she invites him to join the rebel organization. He refused, he just wants to go home. he doesn't want to get inside the problem of the people that he doesn't know at all and it is not even his planet. She sits on the bed with him and told him a story, she said that the legend has it that the origin of the Great Human Empire was started in a blue planet called the earth where human species and other creatures were evolved.
But, 3 thousand years ago, the Great Human War broke and it was started by the first king of Human Kingdom that had the vision to unite all human under one ruler and he succeeds, he took all the land on earth for himself and become the king of Human Kingdom. But the people are upset and started the Second Great Human war it lasts for 6 hundred years they fought for generations and it wounded the earth. The war statues stay stagnant without any movement and when the earth started to split into two, humans were quick starts to fly out from the planet, the Great Human Rebels has not been seen ever since. And the Human Kingdom became the Great Human Empire after colonized all of the solar systems. And Mr. Earthling asks why they come back for the earth that they fighting for are no longer exist and they should stop and live in the society as they should be. She nods her head and stands up and break open the cell door and she said it was for him to escape and before she left she introduce her name, her name is Andrea and then she does some parkour to escape from the roof of the prison. Mr. Earthling himself gets up and run as fast as could in the dark hall of the prison, he feels cold when the wind passes his body and he stops after he arrives in the one and the only way to get in and get out has stayed for noticing that the guard will get inside in a couple of minutes that's why he ran so as fast as he could so he could give a surprise attack. As soon as the door opened and the guard that brings a laser rifle gets in, he surprised him with BJJ's ground grapple and he passes out, he took his rifle and armor and progress to get out. In the other room, a person looking at a monitor that showed to wear a red military suit that tells us that he is the commander. He is looking at Mr. Earthling who is running outside of the prison. He stands up and put on his helmet and a second later the helmet glass became transparent and shows his face. His name is Commander Giulio (Idris Elba) and he contacted the security guard in the prison to put the prison into an emergency state.
When Mr. Earthling is running in prison, suddenly the light turned red and a very loud voice was heard that saying "Emergency, all security guard secure the location asap!" And after that, the automatic door started to move and close by themselves. Mr. Earthling cannot reach the last door and he is trapped in some kind of storeroom, Giulio is taking his laser rifle, handgun, and knives after that he contacted again his soldier to surround the storeroom while he is on his way there. Mr. Earthling is hiding when he heard many footsteps are moving towards him. He climbs a big shelve and crouching on top of it and watching them. He moves fast to hide when they looking up to find him, he gets down behind a lonely soldier and quietly break his neck and left him lying. One of the soldiers found the body, and he contacted Giulio who is on the way there to permit the use of heat vision and he permits it. The soldiers tap a button on the helmet and an additional screen came down and let them see heat, Mr. Earthling who is watching them noticed it and quickly jump from one shelve to another. One of them sees him and start to open fire, the laser blast can make a hole to anything that it passed. Mr. Earthling leap down and shot them back, but because of the special armor, they were unscratched and rain him with lasers. Mr. Earthling just runs and jumps through holes in the shelves and because of the laser there are some big holes on the door and he successfully escaped.
Giulio came but Mr. Earthling is already gone, he is furious and shot one of his soldiers and left the scene. Mr. Earthling is outside, he can't breathe. So he just runs as fast as he can until he arrives at another building and thankfully, he can open the door, he gets in and oxygen was quickly getting inside his body. Giulio commands his soldier to use the drone to track Mr. Earthling and dozen of drones fly on the Mars' sky just to track Mr. Earthling. When Giulio watch his soldiers control their drones a man taps his soldier, he is using a dark green military suit that shows he is a Captain. Giulio was surprised and quickly salute him, he is Captain Genos (Bruce Willis), he asks him how's the progress of tracking Mr. Earthling and Giulio just silence and is afraid to answer. Genos became angry and slaps Giulio's face until he falls to his bottom and Genos asks once again how's the progress and Giulio just answer that they haven't got him yet.
Back to Mr. Earthling, the building that he entered is an abandoned building, but thankfully the Oxygen generator is still working so he can survive from suffocation and proceed to hide in the sewer system but because of some weird sign, he follows it and found a secret office under the abandoned building. He gets inside the building and it is all black so he walks slowly but he stopped because he can feel cold iron in front of his neck and a voice come behind him. "Identify yourself," she said and he recognizes the voice and he just said, "I know it's you Andrea!" She takes off her sword back inside the scabbard, he can turn to look at her face. He asks about why is she the only member of Great Human Rebels, she on looking at the ground and try to change the subject about what is he doing here, he answered to avoid the soldiers that are chasing him, he asks her back about why. She answered because of the emperor, he took her mom and made her become a sex slave and rape her every day until her last breath, and she didn't even have a normal burial, they just let her body to be rotten inside of a jail cell, even after her death. Some soldier still uses her body like a sex doll, that's why she wants to overthrow the emperor. "So it's just personal thing, aye?" He just told her to stop it and she better help him to get out from the planet and maybe, just maybe, he will take her with him. She thinks for a moment and just nods silently. He grinds and stays for a day in that dark cold area, thankfully there are blankets there.
Back to Giulio, he looks sternly at Genos from the far, he is sitting with some Girl company and having some fun. Giulio just silently takes out his knife and walk slowly towards Genos, Genos looks at him weirdly and also quietly draws his knives. Genos asks him why is he here, and Giulio just say "Nothing" When Giulio has become so close, Genos throws his knife to Giulio but Giulio can block it with his Knife, the company girls become panic and run. Genos dash to him and swing his knife and blocked. Epic knife fights happened and broke almost all of their armor, they are tired for fighting for almost an hour non stop, Giulio takes the advantage of age and stamina, Genos get tired very quickly and when he is unaware, Giulio swipe his foot and he fell, Giulio then stabs him a couple of times and left him dying. Then Giulio destroys any evidence and kills the witness.
Back to Mr. Earthling, he is staring at the moon on the night sky of Mars. Andrea came and have a chit-chat with him and asks why he wants to be back to his planet Mr. Eartling just simply say because he misses it, she gives a little nod and asks him back about does he have a wife. He said no, he likes to be alone but he had a crush once and she was just like her, but he is too old to think about it. Once again she just nods and the time passes.
The morning came and Giulio found Mr. Earthling's hideout and sends his army. The tremendous sounds of footstep woke them up, and they successfully caught them off guard. They were sent to meet the emperor (Alan Arkin). They were tortured day before meeting the emperor. Now they were forced to kneel before the emperor with many wounds. The emperor asks who are they and what are they doing in his lands, but without having a chance to answer, the emperor said "Well, you just a criminal. You will get death-sentenced immediately" They were dragged to the public execution place and in an hour all of the residences of Mars have gathered to watch the execution. Andrea is crying because she failed to avenge his mother. They were tied and can do nothing to help themselves. The time to get executed just in a couple of seconds, before a missile was shot to the palace and exploded.
Everyone looking at a smock trail of the missile and sees dozen of black airships Andrea immediately recognize it. "it is The Great Human Rebels!" Light of hope and spirit sparks in her eyes, in another hand Mr. Earthling succeeded to contact his robot and they came in flash and untie him and Andrea. Giulio who sees it rush at them and attack, Mr. Earthling but successfully evade it. The situation changed into chaos in second, armies from both Faction fight so hard. Giulio keeps attacking and Mr. Earthling keeps evading until, with only one blow from his right hand, he punched through Giulio's helmet and destroy half of his head and his Helmet filled with red blood. Giulio fell, Mr. Earthling talks to Andrea and invite her to join him, but she refused and just saying goodbye to him, Andrea asks his name before he leaves. And he said his name is "Jack Moore" after that with transportation he went back to his spaceship and throttle his way from the red planet of Mars.
