Storyline

Arrival (2016) is a thought-provoking science fiction drama that explores the implications of first contact with an alien civilization. When mysterious spacecraft touch down across the globe, an elite team led by expert linguist Louise Banks is assembled to decipher the aliens' language and intentions. As Louise establishes a tenuous line of communication, she experiences vivid flashbacks and begins to unravel a profound mystery that could alter humanity's understanding of life, time, and existence itself.
