In James Cameron’s 2009 film Avatar, the moon explored by humans and the Na’vi is called Pandora.
Pandora is a fictional moon orbiting the gas giant Polyphemus in the Alpha Centauri star system. The film’s human corporation, Resources Development Administration, travels there to extract valuable resources, especially unobtanium. Pandora is also home to the Na’vi, a tall blue humanoid species whose culture is closely connected to the moon’s living environment.
The film’s setting uses the name Pandora in a science-fiction context rather than adapting the Greek myth directly. The connection is thematic: Pandora is presented as a world containing extraordinary natural riches and dangerous consequences for those who exploit them.
The 2009 movie was directed by James Cameron and became known for its extensive use of computer-generated imagery, stereoscopic 3D, and performance-capture techniques. Its world-building led to several later films and additional stories set on Pandora.
