Twenty-four years after its theatrical debut, the sci-fi drama 'Signs' is experiencing a resurgence in streaming popularity on Disney+, attracting both audiences encountering the film for the first time and longtime fans revisiting the story. The narrative centres on Graham Hess, a former Episcopal priest portrayed by Mel Gibson, whose life on a Pennsylvania farmstead is upended when crop circles appear across the globe, culminating in an alien invasion that forces him to defend his family whilst grappling with a personal crisis of faith.

The ensemble cast includes Joaquin Phoenix as Merrill Hess, Rory Culkin as Morgan Hess, Abigail Breslin in her breakout role as Bo Hess, and Cherry Jones as Officer Caroline Paski, all directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The film's renewed prominence on streaming demonstrates its continued resonance as a creature-feature that retains its ability to generate visceral audience reactions nearly a quarter-century after its initial release.
