A futures contract is an obligation to deliver or receive a standardised quantity/quality of an underlying product at an agreed price on a specified date in the future with the futures exchange as the counterparty.

Futures contracts may be classified into the following product groups: Interest Rate and Financial Futures, Equity Indices, Metals, Energy and Commodities.
 
With a futures contract, you can buy and sell in any order you want i.e.just as you would establish a long (buy) futures contract in anticipation of a rise in price, you may also initiate a short (sell) futures contract without having any existing open position if you expect price to trend lower. Therefore, you may benefit from a falling market.

An Option on Futures contract is a standardised agreement which gives the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy/sell a Futures contract at a later date at a price agreed upon today.
