The latest film from Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Prisoners) is a visually inventive and emotionally arresting science fiction based on Ted Chiang’s award winning short story, ‘Story of Your Life’. When mysterious spaceships touch down across the globe, government agents bring together an elite team – led by expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) to investigate. As the world teeters on the verge of global war and the military manoeuvres around the operation become increasingly fraught, Louise and team race against time for answers – and in the process take a chance that could threaten her life, and the lives of all humans. Specially commissioned programme notes will be available.
