Storyline

In a remote space observatory perched high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, a needle frantically scratches erratic lines on a strip chart recorder confirming an extraterrestrial signal. Emmett Shaw, the powerful, charismatic billionaire who owns the observatory, rushes to the station, hungry to expose the discovery. This is the biggest moment in human history and he is the man responsible for it all. With the goal of immediately sharing the signal with the entire world, he brings along two leading journalists - Kara Walsh, an extremely attractive, top-notch investigative reporter who begrudgingly owes her career to Shaw, and Reverend Fletcher, a new age visionary with the hottest radio show in the country. Also accompanying Shaw is Jack Jones, a scruffy but brilliant computer technician whose pessimistic and often sarcastic attitude ruffles many feathers in the group - especially Smitty's, the program director, who happens to be Jack's ex-girlfriend and the only Christian in the group....

Early in the movie, we see that Jack cannot hear at all out of his left ear, and wears a hearing aid in his right ear. When the group gets to the observatory, Jack checks to see if the phone line works by holding the handset up to his deaf ear.

User Reviews

Great movie

Once again cloud ten pictures provides an entertaining and suspensful experience. The story takes a while to get going,but once it does it becomes quite suspensful. I recommend it to people who like the author`s Frank peretti and Alton gansky. 9 out of 10.
