When mysterious spacecrafts touch down across the globe, an elite team – led by expert linguist Louise Banks (Adams) – is brought together to investigate. As mankind teeters on the verge of global war, Banks and the team race against time for answers – and to find them, she will take a chance that could threaten her life, and quite possibly humanity.
Arrival, which has earned over $170M globally since November, is based on the story, “Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang and features an adapted screenplay by Eric Heisserer. Arrival also stars Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Mark O’Brien.
In addition to its Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Best Director, the AFI, PGA, WGA, SAG, Critics Choice Awards, and National Board of Review have lauded Arrival. Amy Adams recently received the National Board of Review’s Best Actress award, Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Chairman’s Award and was honored by the 2016 Gotham Independent Film Awards with a career achievement honor.
Arrival hails from Paramount Pictures in association with FilmNation Entertainment, Lava Bear Films and 21 Laps Entertainment Production. Arrival is produced by Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Aaron Ryder and David Linde.
