影片簡介：

21世紀末，人類的科技水平已高度發達，克隆人技術和宇宙航行早已實現，不再是夢想。與此同時，許多科學家仍孜孜不倦追索著人類起源的秘密與真相。通過對許多古老文明的考察與對比，科學家伊麗莎白·肖和查理·赫洛維發現，人類可能是來自一個遙遠星系的外星人創造的。在Weyland公司資助下，他們乘坐維克絲（查理茲·塞隆 飾）所掌管的宇宙飛船普羅米修斯號前往那顆未知的星球。

經過對當地的考察，地球人的設想成功得到印證。可是他們貿然探查“神的秘密”的行為，也將自己引入萬劫不復的深淵……

精彩片段欣賞：

David: A superior species, no doubt. Their hyper-sleep chambers will impress, I trust.

Shaw: So, they were traveling somewhere.

David: I've managed to work out the broad strokes. It's fairly evident they were in the process of leaving...before things went to pot.

Shaw: Leaving to go where?

David: Earth.

Shaw: Why?

David: Sometimes to create, one must first destroy.

Weyland: Where is he, David?

David: This way, sir.

Weyland: Are you sure he's alive?

David: Absolutely.

Weyland: And you can speak to him?

David: I believe I can.

Weyland: I'm all right! I'm all right. Speak to him, David. Tell him we came, just like he asked.

Shaw: Ask him where they're from.

Weyland: What are you doing?

Shaw: Ask him what's in his cargo. It killed his people.

Weyland: Shaw, enough. David.

Shaw: You made it here, and... and it was meant for us. Why?

Weyland: Shaw, enough. For God's sake, shut her up.

Shaw: Why... I need to know why! What did we do wrong?! Why do you hate us?!

Weyland: If she opens her mouth again, shoot her. David, continue. Tell him why I came.

(David speaks in alien language)

Weyland: No!

Man: Ford! Move! All right, you!

Weyland: There's... nothing.

David: I know. Have a good journey, Mr. Weyland.

Vickers: Time to go home.

Janek: Mr. Chance, take us home.

Shaw: Oh, no!
