SciFi Classic 'Contact' ONE NIGHT ONLY!

One of the best science fiction movies is now back on the Big Screen - One Night Only!

Carl Sagan's novel 'Contact' provides the inspiration for Director Robert Zemeckis' film, which tells the smartest and most absorbing story about extraterrestrial intelligence.

Dr. Ellie Arroway, a radio astronomer, has dedicated her life to the cosmological field of SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) using a giant radio telescope to scan the skies for signals that might originate from intelligent beings.

It's surprising to find a science fiction film exploring issues like love, death and the existence of extra-terrestrial life.  Every aspect of the movie is excellently brought out, from Arroway's initial interception of the alien signal to her travel through wormholes and encountering aliens, which is done in the best manner possible.  The dynamic special effects will make you feel like you are in the spacecraft with Ellie as she travels through the wormholes. 

Two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster stars in this visionary drama
