The four nations of Air, Water, Earth and Fire lived in harmony until the
Fire Nation declared war. A century later, there is still no end in sight to
the destruction, then, an Avatar named Aang discovers that he has the power
to control the four elements.
He joins forces with Katara, a Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka, to rest-
ore balance and harmony to their world.

**************************************************************************
15-year-old Sokka and his 14-year-old sister, Katara, are near a river at the
Southern Water Tribe, a small village in the South Pole. While hunting, they
discover an iceberg that when broken open shoots a beam of light into the
sky. Inside of the iceberg is a 12-year-old boy named Aang and a giant fly-
only person capable of "bending" all 4 elements of Air, Water, Earth and
Fire. A century has passed since the Fire Nation declared war on the other
three nations of Air, Water, and Earth in their attempt to conquer the world.
Zuko is the scarred 16-year-old exiled prince of the Fire Nation on a quest
to find the Avatar and bring him to his father, Fire Lord Ozai, so he can
regain his honor. Seeing the light that appeared from Aang's release, Zuko
and some Fire Nation soldiers arrive at the Southern Water Tribe to demand
the villagers hand over the Avatar. Aang reveals himself and surrenders to
Zuko on the condition that he agrees to leave the village alone. Once
onboard Zuko's ship, Aang is tested by Zuko's paternal uncle Iroh to confirm
he is the Avatar. After being informed that he is to be their prisoner for
passing the test, Aang escapes using his glider and flies to his flying bison
brought by Katara and Sokka.
Aang and his new friends visit the Southern Air Temple where they meet a
winged lemur, who Aang later names Momo. There, Aang learns that he was in
the ice for a whole century and that the Fire Nation wiped out all of the Air
Nomads, including his guardian, Monk Gyatso. In despair, he enters the
Avatar State and finds himself in the Spirit World where he encounters a
Dragon Spirit. Katara's pleas bring Aang back out of the Avatar State.
To seek shelter, Aang's group arrives at a little Earth Kingdom village con-
trolled by the Fire Nation, but they are arrested and taken to a prison for
Earthbenders surrounded by earth after Katara attempts to help a young Earth-
bender boy escape from Fire Nation soldiers. They incite a rebellion by rem-
inding the disgruntled Earthbenders that Earth was given to them. After
battling and defeating the Fire Nation soldiers occupying the village, Aang
tells Katara and Sokka that he only knows airbending and he must master the
other three elements.
Katara is given a waterbending scroll that she uses to greatly strengthen and
hone her waterbending abilities and to help Aang learn as they make their way
to the Northern Water Tribe (where Aang will be able to learn from water-
bending masters) and liberate more Earth Kingdom villages in the process,
weakening the Fire Nation's food and water supplies.
During a sidetrack to the Northern Air Temple on his own, Aang is betrayed by
a Southern Earth Kingdom peasant and captured by a group of Fire Nation arch-
ers, led by Commander Zhao, a Fire Nation Commander appointed by the Fire
Lord. However, a masked marauder, the "Blue Spirit", helps Aang escape from
his imprisonment, fighting off the Fire Nation soldiers under Zhao's command
until the Blue Spirit realises they will be overwhelmed, at which point he
takes Aang hostage to negotiate their way out. During the prison break, Zhao
realizes that Zuko is the masked vigilante. He arranges to kill the prince,
first by having a crossbowman fire a bolt over a huge distance that shatters
the lower half of Zuko's mask and knocks him out, however Aang uses his
skills to bend a cloud across the bridge connecting the prison to the other
side of the valley, causing the Fire Nation soldiers in pursuit to stop in
fear. With the cloud covering their escape, Aang escapes with an unconscious
Zuko into a nearby forest and watches over him until morning, when he leaves
to reunite with Sokka and Katara. Zhao tries again to kill Zuko, this time
by rupturing a gas pipe running through Zuko's quarters on Iroh's ship.
Noticing the danger, Zuko manages to survive the attempt on his life with
Iroh's help. He sneaks aboard Zhao's lead ship as his fleet departs for the
Northern Water Tribe, which is a heavy fortress, to capture the Avatar.
Upon arriving, Aang's group is welcomed warmly by the citizens of the North-
ern Water Tribe. Sokka quickly befriends the Northern Water Tribe princess,
Yue. After a few agreements, a waterbending master, Pakku, teaches Aang
waterbending. Katara also becomes a much stronger and more powerful water-
bender due to her training with Master Pakku.
Soon, the Fire Nation arrives and Zhao begins his attack while Zuko begins
his search for the Avatar on his own. After defeating Katara in a battle,
Zuko captures Aang as he enters the Spirit World to find the Dragon Spirit to
give him the wisdom to defeat the Fire Nation. The dragon tells him to let
his emotions "flow like water". Returning to his body, Aang battles Zuko
before Katara freezes the Prince in ice. Before leaving to join the battle,
Aang lowers the ice so that Zuko can breathe.
As the battle escalates, Iroh and Zhao make their way to a sacred cave where
Iroh watches Zhao capture the Moon Spirit, which has assumed the form of a
fish along with its Ocean Spirit counterpart. Despite Iroh's pleas, Zhao
kills the Moon Spirit to strip all of the waterbenders of their ability to
waterbend. Iroh, enraged by Zhao's disrespect for sacredness and by his
actions to unbalance the world, reveals the extent of his mastery of fire-
bending by using his chi to create huge flame jets from his wrists, scaring
Zhao and his entourage of Fire Nation Soldiers out of the sacred cave.
Princess Yue explains to everyone that the Moon Spirit gave her life and,
with Iroh's help, realises she can give her life back to the Moon Spirit to
revive it, but she dies in the process. With the tables turned, Zhao finds
out Zuko survived. They almost fight before Iroh appears and tells Zuko it's
not worth it. Zhao attempts one more time to kill Zuko with a massive blast
of fire, which Iroh manages to deflect. Zuko and Iroh leave Zhao to his fate
as he is drowned by waterbenders.
Aang remembers his life before being trapped in the ice, including when he
left his home, seeing his master's face. With his waterbending powers and
his emotions "flowing like water", Aang enters the Avatar State and raises
the ocean into a gigantic wall to drive the armada back. Aang now fully
embraces his destiny as the Avatar as he, Katara and Sokka prepare to cont-
inue their journey to the Earth Kingdom to find an earthbending teacher for
Aang.
The Fire Lord learns of the defeat; angry over the betrayal of his brother,
Iroh and the failure of his eldest son, Zuko, he tasks his youngest daughter,
Zuko's sister, Azula, to stop the Avatar from mastering Earth and Fire before
the arrival of Sozin's Comet; an event that will strengthen firebending to
the point where firebenders will be able to create fire from thin air. The
Fire Lord believes he will be able to prove that firebending is dominant and
conquer the other Nations during this time.

I fell head over heels in love with Noah Ringer the very first time I saw his
little bald head in this! :-P :)
He went on to appear in "Cowboys & Aliens," a strange little movie where he
didn't get that much screen time. To date, he hasn't been in anything else,
according to IMDb...
I don't understand why this film got such low ratings from both critics and
moviegoers - I absolutely loved it, and have watched it either four or five
times so far. It has a interesting story, great and thrilling special eff-
ects, and a near-head-explodingly Cutie that appears throughout --
What Is There Not to Love, folks?!?
I'm posting both discs from the set, a BD50 and a DVD9.
