Lem's "His Master's Voice" is a great example of this. The novel is all about humans trying to decipher an alien transmission. There was a 2018 film adaptation, but I haven't been able to find it yet.

Wow. I know films take liberties when translating novels to the screen, but the story shown in that trailer contains only a few hints of Lem's original novel (the scientist father's research and he isn't a father in the novel).
