Contact, based on the novel of the same name by Carl Sagan, is the story of a free-thinking radio astronomer (Jodie Foster) who discovers an intelligent signal broadcast from deep space. She and her fellow scientists are able to decipher the Message and discover detailed instructions for building a mysterious Machine. Will the Machine spell the end of our world, or the end of our superstitions? Will we take our place among the races of the Galaxy or are we just an upstart species with a long way to go?


THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS

dir. Jonathan Demme, 1997.

Cast: Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins.

1 hr 58 min. R

FBI agent Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is sent to interview imprisoned killer Dr. Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). She hopes he might reveal information about another crazed killer known only as "Buffalo Bill," who is abducting young women, starving them, and then killing them. Lecter's brilliant mind is intrigued by the beautiful Starling, and he begins giving her mystifying clues which could be helpful or merely a game. The terror builds as "Buffalo Bill" grabs another victim and the countdown to death begins again. Finding the madman means Starling must get inside Lecter's mind. To stop the killer, she must enter a terrifying race against death.
