There is nothing quite like the relationship between a father and daughter. The significance of this connection is highlighted in both Interstellar, between father Joseph and daughter Murphy Cooper, and in Contact, between father Ted and daughter Eleanor Elloway. Dr. Eleanor Elloway (Jodie Foster) learned to love the idea of communicating to extraterrestrial beings from her father, Ted (David Morse). After he died, she made it her purpose to uncover the mysteries of the universe and prove that contact can be made with other beings outside our normal world. When Dr. Elloway discovers a message from space, it is up to her and her colleagues to decode it and reveal its meaning.
