Steven Spielberg’s 1977 science-fiction classic captures the wonder and terror of encountering the unknown. Starring Richard Dreyfus and featuring music by John Williams, the film was a box-office success, and Ray Bradbury named it as his favorite science-fiction film. Nominated for eight Academy Awards®, Close Encounters remains a milestone in modern filmmaking: visually striking, funny and playful, mysterious, unsettling, and curious in its exploration of one of humankind’s most profound and anticipated events: alien contact.
