A local weather broadcast gets global attention when the meteorologist suddenly starts projecting chilling, otherworldly messages, shattering decades of government secrecy. With the world watching and demanding answers, one man steps forward to expose the truth we’ve long suspected: we are not alone.

Armed with stolen evidence of extraterrestrial existence, a rogue cybersecurity expert races to go public before his employer, the shady tech giant Wardex, can seize control of the signal – and with it, potentially, control of the world.

Spielberg’s first sci-fi event film since Ready Player One heralds a return to the genre he helped define with sci-fi greats Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, Jurassic Park, and E.T. He’s mustered an elite cast, pairing some of Britain’s finest – Josh O’Connor, Emily Blunt, and Colin Firth – with Irish star  Eve Hewson and top-tier American talent Wyatt Russell and Colman Domingo.

With crop circles emerging,  UFO sightings in the skies, alien voices bleeding through the airwaves, and animals behaving in ways no science can explain, the questions are mounting in what’s poised to be a modern sci-fi classic.

Echoes Of The Past

It’s no secret that sci-fi cinema owes most of its success to the influence of Steven Spielberg and screenwriter David Koepp. Almost fifty years after he first looked at the stars, Spielberg reignites the partnership for an all-new original science-fiction epic. Their collaboration began in the nineties with the groundbreaking Jurassic Park, a film that reshaped blockbuster storytelling. After its roaring success, they returned for The Lost World, then followed with War Of The Worlds and Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystall Skull in the 2000s. Now, for the first time since, Spielberg and Koepp join forces once more on a project said to be a spiritual successor to Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.
