Steven Spielberg reunites with science fiction for an otherworldly conspiracy thriller, following the race to uncover the truth of life beyond Earth.
One day in Kansas City, a meteorologist suddenly starts speaking in an unrecognisable language on live television, and only a young cybersecurity expert can understand her. With this, he can reveal a shattering truth about humanity’s place in the universe to all – but it, and the higher powers who employed him and want it hidden, quickly unravels both of their lives. Reuniting with Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, Spielberg compliments a gripping and thoughtful story with his most exhilarating action in years. His unmatched capacity for cinematic spectacle is anchored by an astounding lead performance from Emily Blunt, who brings home the all-consuming mix of terror, confusion, and wonder close encounters might bring.
