One night, Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly), a professor of space microbiology at Princeton University, was taken away by police and several mysterious figures. She was accompanied by countless top scientists in the industry at Lynwood Military Academy in New Jersey. It turned out that while NASA was exploring outer space, it discovered that an unknown object was rapidly approaching the Earth. Soon, a shining white object arrived over Manhattan and landed in the middle of a New York park, surrounded by civilians, scientists and the military. After a while, an alien (Keanu Reeves) with a very similar body shape to humans and a tall robot appear in front of humans. Rude humans completely waste the friendliness of extraterrestrial visitors, and what fate will wait for humans? The film is a remake of the 1951 science fiction film of the same name and won the Jaden Smith Award for Best Young Actor at the 2009 Academy Awards for Science Fiction and Horror Film.
