Roy Neary's life changes dramatically when he observes what he believes is a UFO, one quiet night in Indiana. His obsession with the event affects his morale, his relationship with his family, and his trust in the authorities, who are on the verge of making a crucial discovery.

A disconcertingly plausible blockbuster and an authentic auteur film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind Type set the pace for the Spielberg style. There is the rare cinematic magic of new experimentations, creating narrative tropes from scratch and seeing them come to life visually. The drama, the silent implosion of the family nucleus under the influence of an absent father - absent both spiritually and then physically. The result is a work of unique and timeless emotion.
