In “Signal One,” tech billionaire Sam Houston (Quaid) recruits a brilliant computer scientist, Annika (Fuhrman), to join a classified mission at a remote research facility. There, she encounters a mysterious system known as LITTLEMOUTH—developed by a reclusive and unconventional creator (Thewlis)—designed to intercept signals from beyond Earth.
As the team begins decoding transmissions, they uncover a startling revelation: alien intelligences may already be communicating across the universe, but humanity lacks the ability to fully understand them. When the mission escalates from passive observation to active response, the consequences spiral rapidly out of control, placing the entire operation—and potentially the fate of humanity—at risk.
