🌌 What If the Gods Were Never Gods?
Les Anunnaki (2025) is a bold and visionary film that reimagines the ancient Mesopotamian myth of the Anunnaki — beings from the heavens worshipped as gods — as advanced extraterrestrial architects of human civilization. Set in a near-future Earth grappling with climate collapse and political instability, the movie explores the return of these forgotten creators and the secrets they left behind.
🛸 Plot Summary (Fictional)
In 2025, archaeologists uncover a buried temple beneath the deserts of Iraq. Inside are Sumerian tablets that speak not of myth — but prophecy. The tablets predict the return of the Anunnaki, the godlike beings said to have descended from the stars to create and control humanity thousands of years ago.
As global tensions escalate and natural disasters grow in frequency, three signs appear in the skies over major world cities. A massive Anunnaki ship arrives over the ruins of Babylon. But they have not returned for peace — they’ve come to reclaim what they created.
A brilliant linguist (played by Léa Seydoux) and a renegade astrophysicist (played by Oscar Isaac) must decode the Anunnaki’s motives before humanity is enslaved — or eradicated.

🎥 Visual Style
Directed with awe and dread, Les Anunnaki combines the philosophical scale of Arrival and the mythological grandeur of Prometheus. Cities lit by alien glyphs. Massive golden temples rising from the oceans. Strange energy pulses unlocking dormant DNA in human hosts. The world feels ancient yet futuristic — caught between memory and prophecy.
🔮 Tagline
“We called them gods. They called us tools.”
📚 Based on Ancient Myths
The film draws from actual Mesopotamian mythology, where the Anunnaki were divine beings said to have created humans as workers. In modern alternative history and pseudoscience theories, they’re imagined as ancient astronauts — an idea explored in books like Chariots of the Gods and popularized by shows like Ancient Aliens.
Les Anunnaki turns this idea into a sweeping, high-concept narrative: What if it’s all true?
🎞 Ending Tease (No Spoilers)
Without spoiling, the final act teases a global awakening, as humanity must either submit to their creators… or evolve beyond them. A post-credit scene hints at a sequel titled The Rebellion of Man.
