Mysterious, mystical and magical, the towering cinematic epic Close Encounters of the Third Kind is coming to the big screen for a special three-day event.
Cited by Ray Bradbury as one of the greatest movies ever made, the film returns to movie theaters across the country as part of the TCM Big Screen Classic Series from Fathom Events and includes exclusive insights from Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz. The revolutionary sci-fi film is written and directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Richard Dreyfuss, Teri Garr and Melinda Dillon with François Truffaut as Lacombe.
Richard Dreyfuss stars as cable worker Roy Neary, who along with several other stunned bystanders, experiences a close encounter of the first kind – witnessing UFOs soaring across the sky. After this life-changing event, the inexplicable vision of a strange, mountain-like formation haunts him. He becomes obsessed with discovering what it represents, much to the dismay of his wife and family. Meanwhile, bizarre occurrences are happening around the world.
Government agents have close encounters of the second kind – discovering physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitors in the form of a lost fighter aircraft from World War II and a stranded military ship that disappeared decades earlier only to suddenly reappear in unusual places. Roy continues to chase his vision to a remote area where he and the agents follow the clues that have drawn them to reach a site where they will have a close encounter of the third kind – contact.
