The Arrival details
The description reads,
“In this intense sci-fi thriller now on 4K for the first time, radio astronomer Zane Zaminsky (Charlie Sheen) believes he’s detected cosmic noise that signals extraterrestrial intelligence. But when he presents his discovery, he’s abruptly fired and his girlfriend (Teri Polo) gets transferred — pulling him into a deadly conspiracy. Zane’s desperate search for answers leads him to Mexico and a mysterious power plant. Arrested for the murder of a scientist (Lindsay Crouse) investigating an impending ecological disaster, Zane escapes custody carrying proof that Earth is already under alien invasion.”
