Additional InformationDevoted astronomer Dr. Ellie Arroway undertakes an emotional and spiritual journey after receiving the message she's waited for all her life--a mysterious signal beamed in from alien beings, who pass along instructions for building and piloting a craft that will presumably survive the passage from Earth to their home. While struggling to fund her mission, Arroway also struggles with her feelings about the nature of things, particularly after meeting a charismatic New Age believer who questions her disbelief in God. A deliberately-paced, meditative adaptation of the eponymous novel by Ann Druyan and "pop" astronomer Carl Sagan, who died during production. Academy Award Nomination: Best Sound.
ReviewsNew York Times - Technologically dazzling... CONTACT becomes the most visually intoxicating 'trip' movie ever made, USA Today - Ambitious, relatively spiritual and displaying the characteristic Zemeckis craft

  • I used to have similar visions, when she meets her 'father' on the beach.

    I love this film, because years ago, I used to have very similar visions, when Jodie Foster meets her 'father' on the beach. In my case, I met my deceased mother, and she gave me a hug, which was full of unconditional love, literally a feeling outside of this world, which I will never forget, and a feeling I have never had in this world. Sometimes, I was walking on similar magical beaches, or flying over such beaches, full of beautiful fish. I tried to 'capture' something similar in my animation CREATION on YT: ZAFOSOPHY.

  • A love story with extras.

    It tells the story of a love for a father, a mate for life, a friend for life, a faith in God, and a future afterlife.
