A Prophet (2010)

Malik El Djebena (Tahar Rahim), nineteen years old, French of North African descent, is sentenced to six years in prison for attacking police officers. Alone and illiterate upon his arrival at the racially divided prison, he falls under the sway of Corsican mobsters, led by Cesar Luciani (Niels Arestrup), who enforces a brutal rule.

The Corsicans think little of the North Africans. However, Malik comes under their protection after he is forced to complete an assignment for them: the murder of Reyeb, a hostile witness in the next cell block. Although the victim haunts Malik for years afterward, Luciani offers Malik protection, and enlists him to make coffee and play cards with his gang. When the bulk of the Corsicans are transferred or released, Luciani calls on Malik, who has secretly been studying Corsican, to be his eyes and ears in the prison, eventually arranging day-long furloughs for Malik that allow him to conduct Luciani's business on the outside.

Elaine (Scottie Thompson) and Jarrod (Eric Balfour) have flown to Los Angeles for Jarrod's best friend Terry's (Donald Faison) birthday party. They spend the night celebrating with his girlfriend, Candice (Brittany Daniel), and his assistant, Denise (Crystal Reed). During the party, one of Terry's employees, Ray (Neil Hopkins), welcomes Jarrod to L.A., thinking he has moved there to join Terry's company. During a private argument about whether or not they should move to L.A., Elaine reveals that she is pregnant.

Early the next morning, bright blue lights descend from the sky, entrancing anyone who looks at them. The light turns their eyes milky white and inflames blood vessels, so that they stand up on the skin. Held captive by the light, humans are immobilized and engulfed by the machines. Ray suffers this fate, but Jarrod is saved when Terry tackles him. Jarrod returns to normal shortly after. He and Terry decide to investigate the light from the roof of the highrise, where they see several alien ships descend over the blue lights and vacuum up thousands of entranced humans.

Moon (2009)

Moon is a 2009 British science fiction film about a man who experiences a personal crisis as he nears the end of a three-year solitary stint mining helium-3 on the far side of the Earth's moon.

Plot:
Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is an employee contracted by Lunar Industries to extract helium-3 from lunar regolith, for much-needed clean energy back on Earth, leaving behind his wife Tess (Dominique McElligott), who was pregnant with their daughter, Eve, when he left Earth. He is stationed for three years at the largely automated "Sarang" lunar base ("sarang" means 'love' in Korean[7]), with only a robotic assistant named GERTY (equipped with a chatterbot voiced by Kevin Spacey) for company. A chronic long-range communications satellite failure limits him with only occasional recorded transmissions to and from Earth, as fixing the link is not among Lunar Industries' priorities. Two weeks before completing his contract, Sam begins to hallucinate, briefly seeing a teenage girl on the station. During a routine rover excursion to retrieve the full canisters of helium-3 from one of the automated harvesting machines, he sees a figure standing on the lunar surface and, distracted, he crashes his rover into the harvester, losing internal atmosphere. Sam hurriedly switches on his suit's life support system before losing consciousness.
