Isabelle Fuhrman, Josh Hutcherson, and Dennis Quaid Make First Contact in ‘Signal One’ Trailer

There’s a moment in every great sci-fi horror story where curiosity turns into a mistake. Signal One builds its entire nightmare around that exact line—and then crosses it.

Echoing the cosmic dread teased in Disclosure Day, this upcoming sci-fi thriller asks the question humanity never stops asking: what if we’re not alone… and what if we were never meant to understand what’s out there?

Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan) leads the film alongside Josh Hutcherson (Five Nights at Freddy’s), David Thewlis (Harry Potter franchise), Raoul Bhaneja (Possessor), Emma Ho (The Expanse), and Dennis Quaid (The Substance).

The story centers on Annika (Fuhrman), a brilliant computer scientist recruited by powerful tech billionaire Sam Houston (Quaid). Her destination: a remote, heavily guarded facility built around LITTLEMOUTH—a machine designed to do the impossible… communicate with alien intelligence.

At first, the discovery is staggering.

We’re not alone.
We never were.

Alien signals are everywhere—constant, surrounding us, slipping through reality itself. The problem? Humanity may be far too primitive to understand any of it.

And then they make the worst decision possible: they answer back.

What begins as passive observation quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. As the project shifts from listening to initiating contact, the situation fractures into chaos. The closer they get to understanding, the more reality itself seems to break apart—and the consequences become impossible to contain.

Because in Signal One, contact isn’t a breakthrough.
It’s a trigger.

Written and directed by Jonathan Sobol (The Art of the Steal), the film leans into existential sci-fi horror—where the terror doesn’t just come from what’s out there, but from how little we’re capable of grasping it.

Signal One arrives in select theaters and on digital June 5 via Radial Entertainment.

And if the trailer proves anything, it’s this:
some signals should never be answered.
