Stargate (2025) marks a bold return to one of science fiction’s most beloved universes, reuniting original stars James Spader and Kurt Russell in an epic reimagining of the 1994 cult classic. Directed by Roland Emmerich and co-written by Dean Devlin, this modern sequel reopens the portal that transported audiences to a world of ancient secrets, alien gods, and interstellar rebellion.

In the original story, Dr. Daniel Jackson (Spader), a brilliant Egyptologist, deciphers an ancient artifact known as the Stargate, an interplanetary gateway hidden beneath the sands of time. Under the command of veteran military leader Colonel Jack O’Neil (Russell), a team is sent through a portal to a distant planet mirroring ancient Egypt, only to discover it is ruled by the tyrannical alien entity Ra, who masquerades as a god to control the local population. As Jackson and O’Neil uncover the truth behind the Stargate’s origins and unite with the planet’s oppressed, a revolution is sparked. Their mission becomes not just one of survival, but one to liberate an entire world and, possibly, change the course of humanity’s destiny.
