Despite skepticism from his family, Roy becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about UFOs, risking everything including his job, home, and family. Described by the New York Times in 1977 as “Steven Spielberg’s giant, spectacular Close Encounters of the Third Kind…is the best—the most elaborate—1950s science fiction movie ever made, a work that borrows its narrative shape and its concerns from those earlier films, but enhances them with what looks like the latest developments in movie and space technology.” Our presentation features the director’s cut, re-edited with elements from the 1980 special edition.
