Steven Spielberg's classic family sci-fi, with Richard Dreyfuss as a blue-collar worker whose life is changed by a UFO encounter.
In the midst of a series of unexplained events, electrical lineman Roy Neary (Dreyfuss) encounters a UFO on a deserted road while investigating a large-scale power outage. Roy becomes increasingly obsessed with UFOs and subliminal messaging following his experience, distancing himself from his wife and children but drawing him closer towards parallel investigations by others who are attempting to communicate with the otherworldly presence.
One of Spielberg’s greatest and most popular early films, Close Encounters is a deeply humane exploration of our attitudes to the cosmic unknown.
