Contact (1997)

Science filters the noise from the signal, while religion focuses on belief. I haven't seen many movies that bring these two subjects as close together as Contact. It's a story of how even the most scientific Ph.D. or postdoc like Ellie might reach a point where belief is the only remaining path forwardThink of it as Interstellar with a religious perspective or the Da Vinci Code with a scientific twist. Contact is controversial without being overly confrontational, a rare trait in movies. Step into the capsule and enjoy the flight, this is one of the best science-meets-religion movies.
