Piet Smit Louis Minnaar, an MNU executive, appoints his son in law, Wikus van de Merwe Sharlto Copley, a nebbish Afrikanerbureaucrat, to lead the relocation. Assisted by armed MNU personnel, the relocation uses bribes of cat food, which has an addictive quality for the aliens, as well as force, sometimes even deadly. As the relocation progresses, three aliens Christopher Johnson Jason Cope, his son, and a friend are seen scavenging pieces of alien technology, from which they distill a fluid which they collect in a small canister. District 9 is a 2009 science fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp, written by Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, and produced by Peter Jackson and Carolynne Cunningham. During an inspection, Wikus discovers and confiscates the canister from the shack of Christophers friend, but accidentally sprays some of the fluid onto his own face, which causes him to have a momentary seizure. Christophers friend is subsequently killed by Koobus Venter David James, a sadistic mercenary soldier employed by MNU. Under the fluids influence, Wikus body tissue deteriorates, being replaced with alien tissue starting with his left arm, which he injured after being exposed to the fluid. After the mutation is revealed at a local hospital, Wikus is detained and transported to MNU headquarters for brutal experimentation, where it is discovered that Wikus now chimeric DNA grants him the ability to use his transformed arm to wield alien weapons, which are biologically restricted to the aliens. Seeing his tissue in its current state as a means to enable the use of alien weapons, Smit and his scientists decide to vivisect Wikus, but he overpowers them and escapes the facility. Smit orders Venter and his men to hunt Wikus down, while a smear story is broadcast, claiming that Wikus is a wanted fugitive who has contracted an STD from sex with prawns. The story spreads, even reaching Wikus wife, Tania Vanessa Haywood. Wikus finds refuge in District 9 and stumbles into Christophers shack, where he learns that Christopher is hiding the lost command module of their spacecraft underground, and comes to understand from Christopher that the canisters fluid would be able to reactivate the command module and the dormant mothership, allowing him and his son to go home. Christopher further claims he can reverse Wikus mutation in the mothership. To recover the canister from MNU headquarters, Wikus obtains alien weapons from superstitious Nigerian arms dealer Obesandjo Eugene Khumbanyiwa and his gang, which he and Christopher use to assault the headquarters, retrieve the canister, and flee to District 9 with MNU forces in pursuit. Appalled by the illegal experiments on his fellow aliens at MNU headquarters, Christopher decides to return to his home planet for help, and explains that he cannot undo Wikus mutation until he returns, which will be at least three years. Enraged by this revelation, Wikus knocks Christopher out and attempts to fly the command module to the mothership, but is almost immediately shot down by Venter and his men. They capture Wikus and Christopher, but Obesandjos gang attacks the convoy and seize Wikus, acting on Obesandjos belief that eating Wikus transformed arm will enable him to use alien weaponry. Obesandjos base is then attacked by MNU forces. In the command module, Christophers son remotely activates the mothership and an alien mechanized battle suit in Obesandjos base, using it to kill Obesandjo and his men. Wikus takes control of the battle suit and rescues Christopher, who promises to return in three years with the cure. Wikus kills all the attacking soldiers before Venter cripples the suit, which ejects Wikus. As he corners a heavily injured Wikus, a group of aliens protect Wikus and kill Venter by tearing him apart. The command module with Christopher and his son is lifted into the mothership, which they use to leave Earth, and Johannesburgs residents celebrate the alien ships departure. A series of interviews and news broadcasts are shown speculating about Wikus whereabouts and the potential return of Christopher and the spacecraft, and what it may entail. MNUs illegal experiments are exposed by Wikus friend and assistant Fundiswa Mandla Gaduka, and District 9 is demolished all the aliens are subsequently moved to the larger District 1.
