During a series of unexplained events, Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) encounters a UFO on a deserted road. Roy subsequently becomes obsessed with what he perceives as subliminal messages, distancing himself from his family as he learns of a clandestine investigation by scientists, the military, and other survivors of encounters who are attempting to communicate with the otherworldly visitors. Presenting the aliens as benevolent is Spielberg’s masterstroke in a film that contains enough wonder to inspire even the most jaded viewer.
