Season three of Stargate: Atlantis gets underway as the temporary alliance between the Atlantis team and the Wraith breaks down, and the Wraith hive ships prepare to launch a devastating attack on planet Earth. Before returning to Earth to stand accountable for the failure of her team, Weir (Tori Higginson) orders Colonel Caldwell (Mitch Pileggi) to destroy the Hive ships using the Orion and the Daedalus. Meanwhile, Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) has latched his F-302 to the hull of a Wraith ship and must now rely on Michael (Connor Trinneer) if he hopes to rescue Ronon (Jason Momoa) and McKay (David Hewlett) from the vengeful wraith. As the imprisoned pair miraculously break free of their cocoon prisons and hatch a dangerous plan to sabotage the Wraith ship, the Orion and the Daedalus speed through space to engage the Hive ships in a decisive space battle that could determine the fate of an entire planet. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
