What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Carl Sagan's novel "Contact" (1985).
- Roland Joffé and George Miller were considered for the director's chair at various times. In 1993, Robert Zemeckis was invited, but he declined the offer at that time. He was invited again in 1996 and agreed, setting several conditions: independent casting and non-interference from the studio in the final edit.
- Ellie worked at Arecibo – the place where a real message was sent to extraterrestrial civilizations.
- At the end of the film, against the backdrop of the starry sky, the inscription FOR CARL appears, referring to Carl Sagan, whose novel the film is based on: he died in December 1996, while filming was underway.
- At the very beginning of the film, when the Earth is shown from space, a cacophony of sounds is heard – a 'voicing' of signals from radio stations going into space, among other musical fragments, there is a snippet from the song “The Power of Love” – the soundtrack to another film by Robert Zemeckis – “Back to the Future” (1985).
- In the film, numbers were encoded by the number of pulses (two pulses, three pulses, five pulses, seven pulses), while in Carl Sagan’s novel, a binary system was used for this purpose.
- "Contact" (1997) ranked second on NASA’s list of the most scientifically accurate science fiction films.
- Kip Thorne consulted with Carl Sagan (the author of the novel) on scientific matters. In particular, as Thorne states in his book “Black Holes and Time Warps,” Sagan originally planned to send the hero on a journey through a black hole, but Thorne recommended using a wormhole.
- In the scene where Jodie Foster’s character enters her home, the words “press any key” are written on her laptop in English. She then presses a key, and inscriptions appear in Russian with spelling errors: “Soedinayetsa so satellitom” (Connects to the satellite), and “Utverzhlayetsa Bezopasnost’” (Security is confirmed).

- In the scene where Jodie Foster's character enters her home, the text on her laptop screen reads "press any key" in English. She then presses a key, and text appears in Russian with spelling errors: "Soedinyayetsa so satellitom" (Connecting to the satellite), and "Utverzhdayetsa Bezopasnost" (Security is confirmed).
