From Academy Award winning director Steven Spielberg comes a global event that asks one terrifying question: what happens when humanity is no longer alone in the universe, and the proof can’t be denied?
When undeniable proof of extraterrestrial contact is released to the world, all eight billion people are forced into a shared reckoning. As governments scramble to control the truth and society fractures under the revelation, a group of strangers is drawn into its centre: a journalist-meteorologist (Emily Blunt), a political insider (Josh O’Connor), a veteran statesman (Colin Firth), a determined reporter (Eve Hewson), and a crisis leader (Colman Domingo). Their lives converge as humanity confronts its most consequential discovery.
