Discover Devil’s Tower all over again in Steven Spielberg’s science fiction classic. Richard Dreyfuss stars as typical everyman Roy Neary who experiences, with a small group of others, a close encounter of the first kind. As Roy attempts to fathom out the haunting visions that plague him, we see just the right amount of sentimentality and humanity that we’ve come to expect from Spielberg over the years. An influential piece of sci-fi, Close Encounter’s influence can be seen resonating through to today, most recently in this year’s blockbuster hit Super 8.
