In 1982, a very large alien spaceship stops above Johannesburg, South Africa. Reports suggest that the ship became stranded after a command module separated from the ship and dropped to Earth, nowhere to be found. After cutting their way inside, the exploratory team discovers a large group of malnourished and leaderless arthropod-like aliens. The creatures, derogatorily referred to as prawns, are taken from the ship and housed in a government camp inside Johannesburg called District 9, which eventually turns into a slum. In the first decade of the 21st century, Multinational United (MNU), a private military contractor, is placed in charge of policing and relocating the 1.8 million aliens to District 10, a new camp 240 kilometers northwest of Johannesburg.
Wikus van de Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is the MNU field operative assigned to lead the relocation, which begins with the serving of eviction notices on August 9, 2010. As the eviction unfolds, some nearby aliens are shown distilling a liquid from a piece of their technology into a small canister. One of these aliens, named Christopher Johnson by the MNU, is served his eviction notice by Wikus but he questions the legality of the eviction and demands his rights. Raiding Christopher’s hovel Wikus finds the container and confiscates it but, while doing so, he accidentally sprays some of the liquid onto his face. That night, having received a minor arm injury during the evictions, Wikus falls ill and is taken to hospital, where they find his wounded lower arm and hand has become what resembles an alien appendage, so he’s taken into MNU custody. They intend to vivisect him before he fully transforms into an alien, in an attempt to replicate his ability to operate alien weapons, initially only operable by aliens, but Wikus’ new strength allows him to overpower his MNU captors and escape.
Now a fugitive, Wikus takes refuge in District 9 and returns to Christopher Johnson’s hut. Initially hostile towards Wikus, Christopher eventually reveals that the canister Wikus confiscated contains a special liquid which would allow him to activate the mother ship, and leave the planet. It is revealed that the lost command module is hidden under his hut. Christopher agrees to help reverse Wikus’ genetic transformation if he, in turn, retrieves the canister. Wikus agrees and goes on to try to buy some alien weaponry from a local Nigerian gang led by paralyzed warlord Obesandjo. Obesandjo seizes Wikus seeking to gain Wikus’ power to operate alien weapons, which he believes he will achieve by eating Wikus’ mutated arm, but Wikus manages to escape taking some weapons with him.
Wikus and Christopher break into the MNU offices and retrieve the canister. They then fight their way back to District 9, but Christopher, having just learned that MNU is performing medical experiments on his race, informs Wikus that he has decided to return to his homeworld to seek help for his people before he cures Wikus, which would take three years. Frustrated, Wikus knocks Christopher unconscious and powers up the command module with the help of Christopher’s son. Soon after its takeoff, though, MNU soldiers shoot down the spacecraft, which crashes nearby.
MNU forces take Wikus and Christopher prisoner but Obesandjo’s gang ambushes them on the way out. The Nigerian gang captures Wikus and prepares to sever his mutated arm for Obesandjo. From the command module, Christopher’s son activates the mothership and a mechanized battlesuit that kills Obesandjo and his men. Wikus then gets into the suit and rescues Christopher from the MNU mercenaries, allowing him to get to the command module. Promising Wikus that he will return in three years to reverse his transformation, Christopher summons a tractor beam and docks with the mother ship. Heavily wounded and in a much more advanced state of his mutation, Wikus crawls out of the robot and gets confronted by Venter, the sole survivor of the MNU squad. However, aliens in the camp dismember and eat Venter before he is able to kill Wikus.
Christopher activates the mother ship and Johannesburg residents celebrate its departure. A series of interviews and news broadcasts are then shown, providing various opinions on the events. The aliens are successfully moved to District 10, said to have a population of 2.5 million and growing. MNU’s illegal experiments on aliens are revealed. Some people theorize about Wikus’ fate, others hypothesize that the aliens might return for the refugees, or even to declare war on humanity. Wikus’ wife reveals that having found a small metal flower on her doorstep, she has hope that her husband is still alive. In a scrapyard, an alien with a left arm bandaged like Wikus, crafts a flower out of metal. Trailer:
