Underrated is an overused comment.

This movie never got the credit it deserved. I’m not sure why but I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Jodie Foster as well as all the actors did a magnificent job!

Brilliant actor John Hurt. He became the character at whatever he played. Champagne casting on Contact. Sci-fi at its finest.

Wanna take a ride? This scene and that one gave me goosebumps.

Me too! I thought I was the only one that got a rush when he said that.

Breaks my heart that Aricebo dish is gone.

What a essential scene to the movie. S R Hadden, an industrialist like Rockerfeller or Carnegie in his senior years wanting to give back something significate to the people on the planet. He financed many people who came to his foundation for funding and probably many of them failed him. But Dr Arroway was on the road to success and he had her back against the powerful in Washington DC. I bet he was immensely proud of her. A great comfort in his dying days.

When he stops her in mid sentence. I know a good bet when I see one. And then, well, you've certainly been handed your hat.

I really like this guy in this movie. He's a visionary. I love how he thinks finding the primer and thinks like a alien intelligence. 😊

If this was a different genre film, SR Hadden would've been the villain... He's practically Ernst Stavro Blofeld in this scene.

One of my favorite movies.

John Hurt will always be Aragorn to me! Great actor.

6:20 that sound playing takes me back. It's exactly what was used in the videogame Command & Conquer: Red Alert.

Nope, much different model DB Cooper jumped out of a fully Americanized passenger jet. The one in the movie was a former Russian passenger jet; two sets of two engines mounted directly beside each other. This plane has a fully exposed APU, which looks a lot like a fifth engine. The model shown is a Russian IL62
