In this part of the video, the narrator discusses the 2016 sci-fi thriller film “Arrival.” Dr. Louise Banks, a linguist and language professor, is recruited to help communicate with aliens after 12 enormous extraterrestrial vessels appear around the world. Louise, along with theoretical physicist Ian Donnelly and a team, arrives at the Montana landing site where they encounter the aliens, later called heptapods. Louise attempts to communicate by writing on a board, while the aliens emit circular symbols in response. Tensions rise globally as people panic, leading to looting and riots. Louise further engages with the aliens by removing her hazmat suit, experiencing visions of her deceased daughter, Hannah.
