Stargate (1994)

It is hard to convince your colleagues that what conventional wisdom and history has thought to be true isn’t the case. Galileo Galilei and Nicolaus Copernicus were punished for their findings. The same has happened to archaeologist Dr. Daniel Jackson (James Spader) who posits that the pyramids were not built by man, but by an extraterrestrial force. He’s hired to decipher a set of symbols found on the cover stones of an ancient ring-shaped artifact. The result unlocks the secret to interstellar travel, plus four live action TV series along with an animated one.
