Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. Not to conquer or give aid, but to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.

Germany German (Deutsch)

1982 tauchte ein Raumschiff über Johannesburg auf, an Bord außerirdische Flüchtlinge. Zwanzig Jahre später ist die ursprüngliche Gastfreundschaft der Menschen geschwunden. Aus dem Flüchtlingslager ist ein elendes Ghetto geworden, in dem die ungeliebten Besucher interniert sind: District 9. Das Privatunternehmen Multi-National United (MNU) erhält den Auftrag, sich um die Angelegenheit zu kümmern, verfolgt dabei aber ganz eigene Interessen. Als der MNU-Agent Wikus van de Merwe sich mit einem seltsamen Virus infiziert, wird er zur Zielscheibe und findet ausgerechnet im District 9 neue Freunde, die ihn unterstützen.

France French (Français)

Il y a vingt-huit ans, des extraterrestres entrèrent en contact avec la Terre... Ces visiteurs d'au-delà des étoiles étaient des réfugiés et furent installés dans le District 9, en Afrique du Sud, pendant que les nations du monde se querellaient pour savoir quoi en faire... Depuis, la gestion de la situation a été transférée au MNU (Multi-National United), une société privée qui n'a pas grand-chose à faire du sort de ces créatures, mais qui fera d'énormes bénéfices si elle arrive à faire fonctionner leur extraordinaire armement. Jusqu'à présent, toutes les tentatives ont échoué: pour que les armes marchent, il faut de l'ADN extraterrestre. La tension entre extraterrestres et humains atteint son maximum lorsque le MNU commence à évacuer les non-humains du District 9 vers un nouveau camp.

Italy Italian (Italiano)

Negli anni '80 sono arrivati gli alieni. Stavolta però non sono atterrati a Manhattan o in qualche sperduto paesino campagnolo degli Stati Uniti ma si sono fermati con un'astronave gigante sopra Johannesburg senza muoversi più. C'è stato bisogno che un convoglio terrestre andasse a vedere cosa conteneva quella nave apparentemente immobile per scoprire milioni di alieni denutriti, sporchi e in condizioni pessime. Da quel momento per 20 anni i visitatori sono stati stipati in una baraccopoli di Johannesburg creata per l'occasione: il distretto 9. Un luogo dove le creature da un altro pianeta sono trattate come animali, dove regnano caos e anarchia e dal quale ogni tanto scappano facendo incursioni in città che non portano altro che risentimento e xenofobia nella popolazione locale. Ora è arrivato il momento di spostarli da qualche altra parte, ma loro è a casa che vogliono tornare.
