Screen Rant is excited to premiere an exclusive clip from the upcoming high-concept film Zero Contact, which will be released in theaters as well as through digital and on demand May 27. The tech thriller stars Anthony Hopkins (who has captured the hearts and minds of thriller fans everywhere since The Silence of the Lambs) as Finley Hart, the eccentric genius behind a global data-mining program.
Zero Contact seeks to reimagine the current state of our isolated world reliant on virtual interactions. The intricate plot kicks off as Hart's death leads to five remote agents — including Finley’s son — being contacted by a mysterious A.I. entity in order to reactivate an «initiative» that is meant to enable time travel. With each of the agents experiencing sinister events at their homes, they must decide whether entering the appropriate passwords will save the world or ultimately destroy it.
