"Stargate had one of the more intriguing B-movie premises of recent years: it
speculated that the ancient Egyptian gods were actually aliens from across the
galaxy who traveled from their homeworld to Earth using an interdimensional
portal known as a Stargate. When current-day scientists discover the
long-dormant gate at an archeological dig in Egypt, they reopen the portal and
must fight the godlike aliens, and rescue a community of humans who were kept as
slaves on the alien world since the days of the Pharaohs." - ComicBase™ 7.0.
