In the year 2102, a race of intelligent beings from the Sirius star system made contact with the planet Earth. Imparting their vast knowledge of the cosmos upon us, mankind began to set their sights beyond the current plan of a manned-voyage to Pluto. With the advent of light speed and other technological advances now at our fingertips, we graciously accepted the gifts. But at a terrible price.
With the knowledge of true Space flight came the knowledge of the galaxy’s true origins. Originally an uninhabited wasteland, a powerful race of ancient astronauts, The Pakkonians, found our planet suitable of life and, as such, planted Homo Sapien sapien on our earth as what some might call an experiment. Teaching us the power to build cities, hunt, and cultivate the land, we revered them as gods until one day, they disappeared, with only the promise that they would one day return. 2102 fulfilled that promise.
Our story takes place 1000 years later.
Now part of the Universal Alliance of the Truth, which constitutes over 5000 planets and 54 species of “knowledgeable” beings (ie, those who know of the Pakkonians) Earth is in a state of political upheaval. While the return of the extraterrestrials brought about a worldwide peace, there were many religious debates, most notably from the Catholic Church, who were forced to accept the fact that aliens exist, but did not hesitate to call them “blasphemous.” Now in its final days standing, the United Church sends an orphaned child out into the world.
That child quickly meets with a man and woman team of criminals, with a bounty on their head. Liking the kid, they take him “under their wing” and assemble a crew. The leader has acquired a ship, and 6 brave souls and the child blast off into the dark depths of space and through a black hole, to wind up billions of lightyears away, at the planet of Enson 7.
The inhabitants of Enson 7 were deemed too violent to be enlightened. As such, it is a closed planet for trade and religious affiliation: the perfect place to start anew for the rebels. They land into an atmosphere very similar to our stone age, and find out that 250 years previous, beings had landed and given them tools. Those who had landed were driven insane by an unknown force. (Another reason the planet was closed.)
The Gods have now returned.
Over the course of the film, they fight amongst themselves, and much is revealed about them. They build their own hierarchy. Some want to convince them that they ARE in fact deities, while others opt for the truth.
All of this brings to question, in the boys’ eyes, whether or not the Pakkonians were truly Gods themselves, and leads him on an amazing discovery of the true history of the universe, right to the foot of the Mad Mountains, a cesspool of cosmic radiation, and the true home of what can only be described as a God.
Eventually, the Federation finds out of their goings on and lands on the planet. They deem that the beings now know too much, and as such, opt to destroy it. The child (now a young man) is the only one, now, still alive and willing to stop them, for he has fallen in love with a beautiful native girl.
In the end, he can only save her, and they escape, with the force of The Entity, into the blackness of space, as radiation and fallout kill the planet: a final act by the vehement Gods of a sinful people.
Landing on a new planet with no sentient life, the child and his wife must begin anew in their own Paradise.
