While promising to open the door to an entirely new type of warfare, a top secret Pentagon experiment suddenly goes wildly out of control. At the same time an observatory in the Sierra Nevada Mountains receives a confirmed extraterrestrial signal. With evidence that the two are connected, a team of commandos rushes the observatory. But, with the goal of immediately sharing the signal, the billionaire who funded the observatory gathers a team of his own.
