Plot

A message transmitted down through history draws the Doctor and Amy to England in AD 102. There they find River Song waiting for them, with a warning that a legendary prison called the Pandorica, hidden beneath Stonehenge, is about to open. But the Pandorica is actually a trap set for the Doctor by a legion of his oldest enemies. And meanwhile, a mysterious force has seized control of the TARDIS, setting in motion an explosion which threatens to destroy the entire universe. With the Doctor imprisoned in the Pandorica for eternity, will silence fall across all time and space?
