"The intriguing science fiction thriller starring Charlie Sheen, who plays a brilliant but paranoid astronomer whose obsession with discovering intelligent life outside of Earth puts him in conflict with his human relationships. It is a little-known alien production, having been released at the same time as 'Independence Day' in the United States. Unlike the Will Smith movie, 'The Arrival' forgoes action scenes to focus on a more intricate and highly intriguing plot."
