The Arrival is a 1996 science fiction thriller film written and directed by David Twohy and starring Charlie Sheen, and co-starring Lindsay Crouse, Ron Silver, Teri Polo, and Richard Schiff.

He attempts to seek the help of his former coworker, Calvin, but finds that he has died, supposedly due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

While being held captive at the plant, Ilana explains that the Earth's temperature has rapidly increased by a few degrees, leading to the melting of polar ice and a shift in the ecosystem.

The aliens blend in with humanity by wearing an external skin, and the base emits massive amounts of greenhouse gases.

However, the aliens bring Ilana's body to the police station, making Zane a suspect in her death, prompting him to flee back to the United States.

Zane confronts Gordi at the JPL headquarters and coerces him into confessing that the aliens are raising Earth's temperature to eliminate the human race and create a more livable environment for themselves.

He enlists the help of his girlfriend, Char, and Kiki to journey to a radio astronomy array with the intention of sending his recording to a news satellite.

Zane and Char flee through the radio telescope station's access shaft and exit onto the collapsed dish before the device causes most of the base to implode.

Part of this was due to high-visibility marketing campaign for the release of Independence Day just over a month later, which went on to become a box office phenomenon.

The Arrival had a rather successful run internationally, partly because Charlie Sheen still maintained high popularity worldwide at the time.
