Synopsis
Avatar Aang's quest to restore balance and defeat Fire Nation's aggression in a world of elemental powers
In a post-war world, certain individuals possess the ability to manipulate one of the four primary elements, namely air, water, earth, or fire. Aang, the last surviving Airbender, is the "Avatar" and acts as a bridge between the physical and spirit worlds. He is the only one who can control all four elements and his responsibility is to maintain balance and harmony in the world by promoting peace. Aang's mission is to stop the militaristic Fire Nation from taking over the world. Accompanied by his new friends Katara and Sokka, Aang embarks on a journey to master the elements while being pursued by Zuko, the exiled prince of the Fire Nation, who wants to capture Aang to regain his lost honour.
