Stargate (2025) – James Spader

Stargate (2025) marks a bold revival of one of the most beloved science fiction franchises, bringing back original actors James Spader and Kurt Russell in a grand reimagining of the 1994 cult classic. Directed by Roland Emmerich and written alongside Dean Devlin, this contemporary sequel reopens the portal that once took audiences into a world filled with ancient mysteries, extraterrestrial gods, and cosmic uprisings.

In this new chapter, Dr. Daniel Jackson (Spader), a brilliant Egyptologist, decodes the ancient Stargate—an interplanetary gateway hidden beneath layers of sand. Alongside the tough military figure Colonel Jack O’Neil (Russell), Jackson leads a team through the portal to a distant planet resembling ancient Egypt, only to find it ruled by the despotic alien Ra, who masquerades as a god to control the local inhabitants.
As Jackson and O’Neil uncover the true history of the Stargate, they unite with the planet’s oppressed citizens to ignite a revolution. Their mission shifts from survival to liberating an entire world, with the potential to alter humanity’s destiny.
Featuring new realms to explore, a deeper, more somber tone, and expanded lore, Stargate (2025) seeks to reinvigorate the franchise for a modern audience. It blends nostalgia with stunning visuals, intense action, and timeless questions about authority, identity, and freedom in the vastness of the cosmos.
