The plot kicks off with Jake and Neytiri dealing with heavy loss from past fights. A group of flying merchant ships, called Wind Traders, shows up in Pandora’s skies, drawing trouble. An aggressive Na’vi group known as the Mangkwan, or Ash People, ambushes them. Led by their tsahik Varang, these Ash People do not believe in Eywa, the planet’s spiritual force. They burn the ships, steal goods, and kill survivors, splitting up Jake, Neytiri, and their kids.

Neytiri sneaks into a Resources Development Administration (RDA) base to rescue Jake. Their human ally Spider, who has a complicated tie to the enemy colonel Quaritch, helps by acting as a shield since the RDA values his research potential. Jake and Neytiri escape but clash over Spider’s role in their lives. In a tense moment, Jake nearly kills Spider out of fear but stops, and Neytiri finally welcomes him as family.
Back at the Metkayina clan’s ocean village, Jake warns the giant tulkun creatures of an RDA attack. The tulkun council sticks to their peaceful ways at first, but Lo’ak brings in Payakan, the tulkun from the last movie, and Tan’ok, a survivor of a human raid. This sways them to fight. Jake reconnects with Toruk, the mighty flying predator, and unites Na’vi clans for battle.
The action ramps up as Kiri summons Eywa’s power, sending Pandora’s wildlife against RDA ships. Varang goes after Neytiri, but Kiri saves her. Toruk takes down the RDA’s main ship in a wild magnetic storm. Jake and Quaritch end up fighting inside the chaos, with Spider close behind. The Sully kids, including Lo’ak, Tuk, and Tsireya, grapple with their brother’s death and step up as the next fight brews.
Fans will see returning favorites like Payakan at full strength, plus new looks at Pandora’s skies and the harsh Ash People. Jake is haunted by grief but fights on instinct, while Neytiri questions her beliefs amid rivals and loss. Quaritch and Spider’s bond grows more intense too.
