"Robert Zemeckis’s 1997 sci-fi feature, based on Carl Sagan’s 1985 novel of the same name, stars Jodie Foster as Dr. Eleanor Arroway, an atheist scientist dedicated to the discovery of extraterrestrial life through radio signals from outer space. Her budding romance with influential Christian writer Palmer Joss (Matthew McConaughey) is halted by their opposing values and perceptions of existential truth. Contact is a thoughtful contemplation on belief, examining how religion and science can coexist rather than contradict."
