Synopsis
Understanding each other may be the most powerful tool we have, and it takes patience to truly listen. Denis Villeneuve's "Arrival," adapted from Ted Chiang's short story "Story of Your Life," stars Amy Adams as Louise Banks, a gifted linguistics professor still haunted by personal loss. When 12 mysterious spacecraft appear at locations around the globe, the U.S. military, led by Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker), recruits Louise and theoretical physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) to find a way to communicate with the seven-limbed visitors hovering over Montana. As tensions rise and nations edge toward war, Louise races to decipher the aliens' strange circular language. To find answers, she'll take a chance that could change her life - and the future of humanity. Its revelations will stay with you long after the credits roll.
