I googled "Halo Movie" and the movie and the www.imdb.com was first on top. I signed up so i could read all the topics about the movie and story that are compiling there and one post was the following. I know there are tons of ideas but I never heard this one before. Enjoy and remember...it is not my words.
Here's all the answers you'll ever need. The forerunners were a hyper advanced race of humans. They met up with the covenant and formed an alliance. At this time the forerunners were way superior to the covenant in means of technology. One day, they stumbled upon the flood who had infested some random planet. They got into both forerunner and covenant ships and infested their homeworlds. In order to contain them, the forerunners built super high tech Halo rings and lured the flood to them. Knowing they wouldn't be able to contain them forever, the forerunners equipt the rings with super destructive capabilites, able to wipe out all life advanced than an insect (the flood parasites would survive). Knowing they would become extinct if this happened, the forerunners and covenant found Earth, some random backwater planet, and built the arc under it's surface. The arc is the only place that can protect you from the flood (Noah's Arc, the flood, 40 days, you know...) and the ring's power. Also, they built the monitors so that if the flood ever were released again, they would make sure the rings were activated. So, some of the forerunners and the covenant stayed inside the arc so they would be able to repopulate after the ring killed everything, and from the arc, they activated the rings, destroying all sentient life. After the ring's deactivated, the Prophet of Truth (not yet in the position he is now) betrayed the forerunners, stealing the technology they had left and escaping Earth with his followers. The forerunners were left with nothing and began new life on Earth as we know in history. Since the Prophet had a head start because he had some technology, the covenant race became more advanced than the humans. Obsessed with controlling the entire universe, the Prophet banded together the covenant we all know of today, convincing them that reactivating the rings would start "the great journey", when all he plans on doing is completely wiping out the human race for good. He is known as the prophet of Truth because he KNOWS the truth about Halo. that is why he is going to Earth in Halo 3, to finish what they started back when they left the forerunners on Earth. They didn't know the Master Chief would come kick their asses though, hehe.
That is what it said there.
