Plot Summary
Return of the Anunnaki (2025) explores a chilling premise: what if the ancient Sumerian gods were real—and returning?
After decoding an ancient tablet buried deep beneath the sands of Iraq, archaeologist Layla (Sofia Boutella) and linguist Zara (Golshifteh Farahani) uncover a prophecy tied to the Anunnaki—mysterious beings who once ruled Earth thousands of years ago. As signs in the sky match ancient carvings and global catastrophes begin, the team races to understand whether this is a warning… or an invitation.
Meanwhile, Dr. Elias Rahman (Oscar Isaac) leads a black-ops team into a hidden chamber beneath the ruins of Eridu—the first city. What they find there is not mythology, but technology beyond comprehension. A doorway opens. And what steps through changes the course of human history.
Are the Anunnaki our creators—or our destroyers?

Massive ships descending from the clouds, blending the ancient with the futuristic

Reception
