Nell'8000 a.C., in uno scenario di caverne popolato da animali preistorici, una luce violentissima attrae un ragazzo, che si avvia verso quella fonte luminosa con la consapevolezza di andare incontro al proprio destino. Nel 1928, in Egitto, un gruppo di archeologi scopre un indecifrabile geroglifico che appare collegato al culto di Ra, dio del Sole. Ai nostri giorni, a Los Angeles Daniel, un egittologo poco ortodosso che nega che le piramidi siano state costruite dagli egiziani, incontra la figlia di uno degli archeologi che si erano misurati con la misteriosa iscrizione e decide di aiutarla a proseguire le ricerche. Ha inizio così un'avventura che porta i protagonisti agli antipodi dell'universo conosciuto. "Stargate" racconta la storia del film omonimo.

It came out of deep space, an alien ship one fourth the size of our moon, protected by an impenetrable force field, destroying the earth's biggest cities with cold, methodical precision. One by one, they went down: New York, Tokyo, Los Angeles -- no one knew how to stop it, no one knew exactly what it was. The army was powerless, President Whitmore was stunned, and the people were beginning to panic. Enter a ragtag team of unsuspecting heroes who know survival isn't the main thing, it's the only thing. David Levinson, a cable man and gifted hacker who could tap into any computer system and stand it on its ear in minutes; Jasmine Dubrow, an exotic dancer and a gutsy single mom who would kill an alien barefisted to save her young son; Russell Casse, a broken-down crop duster with a weakness for Jack Daniels and hopeless causes; and Marine Captain Steven Hiller, a frustrated would-be astronaut who has the right stuff and knows it. Although they aren't fully aware of it, the fate of what's left of the world depends on them. It will take their combined grit, intelligence and courage to survive, and to uncover a devastating UFO secret that has been hidden from the public for more than 40 years.

C'est alors qu'un radiotélescope capte des ondes émises par un OVNI. Et ces visiteurs venus d'ailleurs n'ont pas des intentions franchement pacifiques ! Bientôt d'immenses disques de feu surplombent toutes les grandes villes... Dans deux jours c'est la fête de l'Indépendance aux Etats-Unis : parades, feux d'artifice, fanfares et fanions. Mais cette année, la fête risque de s'appeler... l'Apocalypse !
