The Arrival

1996 · 1h 55m · Science Fiction, Thriller, Mystery

IMDb 6.2 Metacritic 56 RT 65%

Skip this one—despite its intriguing sci-fi setup, 'The Arrival' (1996) is a forgettable paranoia thriller that never quite justifies its premise and gets lost in its own convoluted plot. You're better off rewatching a Hitchcock original or Denis Villeneuve's vastly superior 'Arrival' (2016) instead.

Plot

Zane Ziminski is an astrophysicist who receives a message that seems to have extraterrestrial origins. Eerily soon after his discovery, Zane is fired. He then embarks on a search to determine the origins of the transmission that leads him into a Hitchcockian labyrinth of paranoia and intrigue.

Director: David Twohy

Cast: Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Crouse, Richard Schiff, Ron Silver, Teri Polo
