Plot: Unidentified flying devices in the shape of twelve shells abruptly materialized in the sky above Earth. The aliens communicated with humanity through these shells, but humans were unable to decipher them. Louise (a linguist) and Ian (a physicist) were discovered by the US military. At this point, Louise finally realizes the aliens' true intentions, and with the help of the unique "weapons" they have given her, she is able to use one force to change the course of history. After multiple contacts, Louise was unable to ascertain the aliens' true purpose for visiting Earth, leading China, Russia, and the other four countries to decide to launch an attack.

Plot: The population has gotten so wiped out that human visitors from the year 2051 have returned to the current day to warn us that an extraterrestrial invasion has invaded Earth and that citizens must advance three decades to assist in defending the planet. Pratt's Dan Forester, an amiable science teacher at a high school and an Iraq War veteran, is one of them. Even though he is reluctant to leave his brilliant, nine-year-old daughter and wife, he declares at the movie's beginning that "I am meant to do something special with my life," just as so many average, middle-aged white men have done before him. That item is this.
