It is the beginning of the Stargate franchise. It was originally intended as the first of a trilogy of films, but creators Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin were distracted by Independence Day. Instead, it inspired the television series Stargate SG-1, which is concluding a ten-year run in 2007, as well as its spin-off, Stargate Atlantis, and a poorly-received animated series Stargate Infinity (not considered canon). Two straight-to-DVD Stargate SG-1 movies are being filmed as of 2007. See Stargate for more about this science fictional universe.
