In the film, a team of scientists and explorers travel to a distant planet to investigate the origins of humanity, and they discover a race of advanced beings called the Engineers who may have played a role in creating the human species. Without giving too much away, the plot involves the exploration of this idea and the consequences that follow.

Yes, there is a sequel to “Prometheus” called “Alien: Covenant” (2017), which is also directed by Ridley Scott. The film takes place ten years after the events of “Prometheus” and follows the crew of a colony ship who stumble upon a seemingly uncharted planet, which turns out to be the home of the Engineers. “Alien: Covenant” delves deeper into the origins of the Xenomorph species and connects the events of “Prometheus” with the broader “Alien” franchise.
