Under the encouragement and guidance of her father, Elinor "Ellie" Arnoway (Jodie Foster) has been interested in astronomy since she was a child. After developing a strong interest and graduating summa cum laude with a PhD from MIT, she became a SETI scientist and began working at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico's Arecibo Valley. . Every day, her main job is to monitor the information on various bands through the radio, hoping to find signals from extraterrestrial life. However, believing that such efforts are a waste of limited resources, government scientist David Dumlin (played by Tom Skerritt) stopped funding the project. However, Ellie unexpectedly received help from a mysterious billionaire entrepreneur named S.R. Hayden (played by John Hurt). It turned out that he had been paying attention to Ellie's growth and the development of her career. . Hayden's huge grant gave Ellie the opportunity to continue her research at the Very Large Array in Socorro County, New Mexico.

Four years later, when Dumlin was about to shut down the search for extraterrestrial civilization program, Ellie discovered a series of strong signals from Vega. These signals appeared in the form of audio and kept repeating 2-101. All prime numbers from smallest to largest. This discovery attracted the attention of Dumlin and the National Security Council, led by National Security Advisor Michael Coates (James Woods), who attempted to gain control of the Very Large Antenna Array. While Ellie, Dumlin and Kurtz were arguing, blind scientist Kent Clark (played by William Fichtner) heard other content from the originally discovered audio signal. After decoding, it was finally discovered that this was a Video message from Adolf Hitler's speech at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Ally and Dumlin speculated that this signal appeared because at the opening of the Berlin Olympics in 1936, the then German head of state Hitler sent a television broadcast signal to the world and even outer space for the first time in order to demonstrate Germany's powerful technological strength. The signal took 26 years to reach Vega, 26 light-years away, and was transmitted back by local intelligent life. It took another 26 years to reach the earth, which means: "We heard it."

This series of amazing discoveries quickly spread around the world. After further analysis and decoding, scientists found that the information contained more than 60,000 pages of different information that seemed to be some kind of industrial design drawings, but has been struggling to find a way to crack the code in order to understand the information. At this time, Hayden was very helpful again. He invited Ellie to his private plane and explained the decoding method in detail. Decoded through the 3D view, all the information was broken down into what appeared to be blueprints for building some kind of machine. The main body of the machine is composed of three huge rings. The way the machine moves seems to be to insert a circular container containing a person from the top of the three rings that are continuously placed, but no one is sure what will happen next.

Countries around the world began pooling funds to build the machine at Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Brevard County, southern Florida. A committee of scientists and leaders from various countries has also begun selecting candidates for the mission. Although Elle is one of the top candidates, a Christian philosopher with whom she briefly met and had a personal relationship in Puerto Rico, Palmer Jones (Matthew McConaughey), is... Questions were raised about her religious beliefs during the hearing. In the end, Ellie lost the support of most of the committee members because she was not religious, and David Dumlin eventually became the executor of the mission. But on the day the machine was being tested, a religious extremist strapped explosives all over his body and mixed them into the machine. He eventually detonated the bomb, killing many staff members, including Dumlin.

When the whole world was in grief and Ellie was a little disheartened, Hayden contacted her again. Telling her that there is actually another identical machine built in Hokkaido, Japan, and that Ellie can become the test pilot of this machine, Ellie immediately sets off for Hokkaido. In order to avoid similar accidents from happening again, Hokkaido's security work is extremely strict and even refused any media requests for on-site interviews and records.

Before leaving, scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration gave Ellie a suicide pill that might be useful in some extreme and special situations. Finally, she walked into a sealed container with a camera lens on her head. After a countdown, the container fell from three huge rotating rings. Ellie seemed to have entered a series of wormholes and shuttled at high speed. Finally, she came to a beach that looked very similar to a painting she had painted in her childhood. A blurry image gradually approached her. Only when she walked in front of her did she realize that it was actually the person she had already died from. My father died of a heart attack. It turns out that all this is just because the intelligent life in outer space believes that it would be more acceptable to contact people on earth in this way. Ellie tried to ask the other party many questions, but the alien life did not answer directly, but only explained to her that this journey was only the first step necessary for contact between humans and other intelligent species.

Ellie thought and digested the answer carefully and quickly lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she found herself at the bottom of the airtight container, with staff calling her name loudly in an attempt to revive her. She later learned that, to anyone but her, it appeared that nothing happened when the container fell from above the ring and simply fell directly into the safety net in the sea below. But Ellie insisted that she had traveled through time and space and traveled in outer space for about 18 hours, but her video equipment only recorded static interference. Michael Coates resigned as national security adviser and began to organize and lead a congressional committee to investigate and hear the entire incident, and pointed out that all this was probably just a human being before the death of H.R. Hayden, who had just died not long ago. The most expensive prank in history. At the final hearing, Ellie was unable to provide sufficient evidence to prove her indescribable and wonderful journey, but she still persisted in her opinions and beliefs, and finally gained the trust of the public. On the other side, White House Chief of Staff Rachel Constantine (Angela Bassett) discovers that Coates concealed a crucial piece of evidence from the hearing: Although the video equipment worn by Ellie only recorded No static electricity, but it lasts up to 18 hours.

At the end of the film, Ellie received a scientific research grant from the federal government and continued her research work at the Very Large Antenna Array
