Summary
The plot surrounds Dr. Louise Banks (Amy Adams), a linguistic specialist and professor. After 12 extraterrestrial spacecrafts land in random countries throughout the world, the US military reaches out to Louise in hopes of developing an understanding of the aliens’ language to figure out why they’ve landed throughout different countries. Once realizing there is no way to figure out communicating verbally with the aliens, Louise comes to the realization that they have their own written language.
Within time, Louise assists the US military in teaching the aliens written English to then decipher their own written language. Once troubles arise within the military base and the other 12 in different countries, Louise is able to understand the aliens better than ever before.
