Stargate

Sci-fi wormhole franchise

Stargate is a portal device that creates instantaneous travel between distant points in space, originating from the 1994 science fiction film and its television spinoffs.

The franchise depicts ancient ring-shaped devices that generate wormholes: They dialed the stargate to escape the planet.

More broadly, stargate has entered casual use for any imagined cosmic gateway or portal between worlds.
