In District 9 we met the sick and malnourished "prawns" when an MNU investigation team entered their spacecraft that stopped directly above Johannesburg in South Africa.
The prawns are confined to District 9, a government camp just outside Johannesburg. Wikus van de Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is appointed to lead the prawns to a new camp and is accidently infected with a mysterious fluid he finds in a prawns house.
Mutating slowly into a prawn, Wikus is kidnapped by the MNU and used to test alien weapons that only function with alien dna present. Wikus escapes and finds refuge in District 9, where he stumbles into prawn Christopher's shack, underneath wich a lost command module from the ship is hidden.
To return to the mothership and eventually to reverse Wikus' mutation they decide to attack the MNU headquarters to retrieve the canister, holding the liquid necessary to reactive the dormant mothership.
Disgusted by the illegal experiments on his fellow aliens at MNU headquarters, Christopher says he must use all the "fuel" to get help before curing Wikus, but the trip to the alien planet and back will take three years.
District 9: The return - our script:
In the sequel we return to a new government camp "district 10", where a fully mutated Wikus and the rest of the remaining prawns are struggling in even worse conditions than in their former camp "district 9".
Wikus is now the leader of the prawn-rebels and we witness him leading his prawn gang out of their camp to salvage whatever they can in the surrounding suburbs.
Knowing that the MNU tortured their fellow prawns, the prawns are now more aggressive towards humans and often kill people, resulting in revenge raids on their camp by the MNU troops, and political pressure on the government to destroy all prawns.
Before the government plan to wipe out the prawns forever is set into motion, we hear news messages about the detection of an army of spaceships entering our earth's atmosphere. The prawns are back and this time they won't leave a single soul behind.
In the events following the prawn invasion, we witness prawn Christopher struggling to find Wikus to reverse his mutation back into a human as promised in the first movie.
