In AD 2154,[15] a human corporation is engaged in the colonization of Pandora, the lush moon of Polyphemus, one of three gas giants that orbit Alpha Centauri A,[15] 4.4 light years from Earth. The humans seek to exploit Pandora's reserves of a precious mineral called unobtainium.
Pandora is inhabited by an indigenous neolithic[16] species of sentient humanoids called the Na'vi. Standing nine feet tall, with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Na'vi live in harmony with the natural world around them, and are considered primitive by human standards. Humans are unable to breathe Pandora's atmosphere, which is rich in carbon dioxide,[16] and peaceful interaction with the Na'vi is difficult. Human researchers, led by Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) created the Avatar Program, taking human and Na'vi DNA and using it to genetically engineer human-Na'vi hybrid bodies called Avatars.
A human who shares genetic material with the Avatar can be mentally linked to it, allowing them to control its functions and experience what it experiences, while their own body sleeps. The story's protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a former U.S. Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth. His twin brother Tommy was a scientist working on the Avatar program; but when he is killed, Jake is extended the opportunity to take his brother's place, as he shares Tommy's genetic material and is therefore compatible with his Avatar. However, Dr. Augustine is less than happy about Jake being there, as his brother had a doctorate and years of extensive training to participate in the program. In contrast, Jake has no knowledge of Na'vi culture and has never used an Avatar. Regardless, the research team decides to let him go through with the program. During his first Avatar test Jake seems ecstatic to be able to use his legs once again.
Jake's first assignment is to escort Dr. Augustine and a biologist named Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) through the hostile jungle. Eventually, the group is attacked and Jake becomes separated from the others, forcing them to leave him behind for the night and believing that he will "not survive" the alien environment. Throughout the night, he attempts to survive in his Avatar body, fending off dangerous creatures. This attracts the attention of a female Na'vi named Neytiri (Zoë Saldaña) who decides to intervene by rescuing Jake from certain death. Although at first troubled by Jake's recklessness, she decides to take him back to the Na'vi Hometree, which is the center of her clan both spiritually and literally. The Na'vi decide to take Jake and teach him about their culture, so that they in turn could learn more about humans.
Jake encounters many of Pandora's beauties and dangers. Despite having originally gotten lost by chance, which led into his integration in the Na'vi tribe, he is sent by his military superiors to obtain the trust of the Na'vi clan, and convince them to abandon their Hometree, which sits above a large deposit of unobtainium. As Jake learns the way of the Na'vi, he finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth and a newfound love for his adopted home and people. Believing that the Na'vi will never abandon their home, the humans attack and destroy the Hometree, forcing the Na'vi to flee. The Na'vi feel betrayed by Jake, ostracizing him from the tribe. Back at base, Jake and his compatriots are forcibly disconnected from their avatar interfaces and are detained for arguing against the destruction. However, Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez), disgusted at the violence, breaks the prisoners out, but Grace is mortally wounded in the departure from base. Deciding there is only one way that the Na'vi would listen to him now, Jake tames the Toruk, a formidable winged creature, and in doing so earns back the respect of the Na'vi. He offers to help fight the humans if they save Grace. They attempt to permanently transfer her consciousness into her avatar with the Sacred Tree, but Grace dies from her considerable injuries before the ritual can be completed.
With Neytiri's assistance, Jake assembles thousands of Na'vi from other tribes and lead them into battle with the increasingly violent human forces, in order to save their race and world. The humans detect the assembling forces and security chief Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) orders a preemptive strike to destroy the Na'vi's main Sacred Tree in order to break their will. Meanwhile, Jake attempts to make contact with the spirits of that tree, pleading with Grace to appeal to the Na'vi god, Eywa, and the spirits to help in the coming battle, but Neytiri tells him that Eywa will remain neutral.
In the resulting battle, the Na'vi put up a much more formidable defense with Jake's direction, but they still cannot defeat the humans while taking heavy casualties. However, the native creatures of the region suddenly appear en masse to attack the humans with overwhelming might; Neytiri interprets this as Eywa having decided to intervene in the battle for the Na'vi. Despite this reversal, Quaritch orders the Sacred Tree bombed, but Jake manages to land on the shuttle and down it.
Quaritch's craft is attacked as well, but he is able to escape the vehicle in his mecha as it crashes. As he proceeds to the Sacred Tree to destroy it, he finds the remote Avatar interface field pod Jake's compatriots had moved and hidden deep in Na'vi territory and decides to destroy it to kill Jake. Neytiri and Jake arrive to stop him and manage to defeat their enemy, but not before he seriously damages the pod, exposing Jake's true body to the planet's deadly atmosphere. Neytiri manages to understand the emergency and saves him by retrieving a protective mask from the remnants of the base, witnessing Jake in his human form for the first time. Jake expresses his love for her, weakly uttering "I see you" (a term culturally significant to the Na'vi), which Neytiri lovingly says in return.
After the battle, the humans are forced to evacuate Pandora, while Jake and friends are allowed to remain. The film ends with Jake permanently transferring his consciousness from his human form to his Na'vi avatar by way of a Na'vi ritual.
