The basic premise of the story remained unchanged in the adaptation from short story to feature film — while telling the story of her daughter’s life, a linguist recounts her experience deciphering and learning an alien language.
The central character is Dr. Louise Banks (played by Amy Adams in the movie), a brilliant linguist who is tasked with finding a way to communicate with the alien life forms that have arrived on Earth.
