It would be an awesome sci-fi plot: voyager 1 is captured by an alien race. Goes silent for a while they figure out how to boot it up. Then it starts transmitting the instructions to build a wormhole . Lone engineer who held out hope discovers the signal after the project was mothballed. (sorry this bit stolen from Contact). Or instructions for a hyperdrive.

if the movie contact was made today unfortunately, the signal would have been intercepted by a teenager who the builds the machine to the alien spec in his bedroom with his best buddy from school

That's just an Explorers remake.

That's kind of the plot of 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
