Samenvatting
De astronome Ellie Arroway vindt na jaren zoeken eindelijk een radioboodschap van een buitenaardse beschaving. De boodschap bevat gedetailleerde instructies voor het maken van een mysterieuze machine. Onder groot protest van diverse religieuze groeperingen wordt het apparaat gebouwd. De vraag is nu wie er plaats zal mogen nemen in het apparaat, dat vermoedelijk een ruimteschip is. Ellie zou dolgraag willen.Credits
