STARGATE

BY. Dean Devlin
and
Roland Emmerich

Report by Adam Smith

     The  action  begins  in  Egypt  in  1928  when  archeologists  find  a

strange  object  buried  in  the  dessert.  The  object  was  not  made  of  any

minerals  found  on  earth.  The story  then  shifts  to  the  present  when  Dr.

Jackson,  an  expert  on  ancient  Egypt  language,  was  hired  by  the  U.S.

government  to  examine  the  artifact.  His  job  is  to  determine  the  purpose  of

the  artifact,  now  called   the  stargate.  The gate  is  moved  to  an  abandoned

missile  silo  three  days  after  he  has  been  working.  Over  the next  few  days

he  discovers  that  the  stargate  was  used  to  travel  across  space  to  another

planet  in  a  distant  galaxy.  After  Dr.  Jackson  translated  the  final  code that

makes  it  work,  a  team  headed  by  Colonel  O’Neil  is  sent  through  the  gate

to  explore  the  planet.  Dr.  Jackson  accompanies  the  team  to  be  in  charge

of the translation  of  the  code  of the other  gate so the  team can get  back to

earth.   When  the team  arrives  they  are surprised to find  a human civilization

speaking an unknown language.  The  team  is welcomed  to  their  city.  While

some  team  members,  including  Dr.  Jackson,   goes to  the  city  half   the

team  stays  at the  gate.  That  night  an  alien  space  ship arrives  at the  gate

and  captures  the  rest  of  the  team.  While  Dr. Jackson  is  at  the  city  he

discovers  that  the  people  on  this  planet  were  originally  from  earth.  They

were  brought  here  to mine  minerals  for  the  alien.  Earth  had rebelled

against the aliens  many  years  before  and  had  buried  the  earth  stargate.

The  main  characters  are  Dr.  Jackson  and  Colonel  O’Neil who must find a

way to defeat the alien and give the planet inhabitants their freedom.

     Dr.  Jackson  is  a  very  knowledgeable  person with  a  great  sense  of

responsibility  to  take  on  the  trip  because  he  will  need  to  turn  on  the  other

gate  so  he  and  the team  can  return  to earth.  He  is  sensitive  to  others  and

it  shows  in  the  way  he  cares  about  the  planet’s  inhabitants.  He  is  also

very  curious  about  the  inhabitants and  their  history.
