Synopsis:
When a trio of computer geniuses are lured to the desert they believe it to be a hacker’s prank, but things turn serious when they’re kidnapped and taken to a mysterious facility.
Who has taken them? Is it the government? A terrorist organisation? An agency not of this world? They will do whatever it takes to find out...
You'll Love This Because
Continuing a modern science-fiction trend,
The Signal puts edgy, smart ideas at the centre of a hugely exciting genre thriller – appealing to hard sci-fi fans and mainstream audiences alike.
It’s also stacked top to bottom with fresh young talent – from director William Eubank to stars Olivia Cooke and Brenton Thwaites – not to mention Laurence Fishburne, leading the charge with his own brand of seasoned Morpheus-style gravitas.
And like all great science-fiction stories, at its core is an eternal question – what is the signal? It’s a question that will have you gripped through every brain-melting twist and keep sending chills down your spine long after the movie has finished...
