CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND in 70mm 🎞️
Director's Cut | New 70mm Print
After the success of 1975’s JAWS, Steven Spielberg wanted to film a smaller-scale story about a man obsessed with an alien encounter. After he opted to include special effects, the project grew enormously complicated but ultimately resulted in another major success. Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) witnesses a UFO on an abandoned road and, against the wishes of his wife (Teri Garr), goes searching for answers. François Truffaut plays a French UFO specialist who leads the effort to communicate with the aliens. John Williams’ Oscar®-nominated score, featuring the “five-tone” motif now ingrained in popular culture, lost that Oscar® to his own score for STAR WARS (but later won two Grammys®). RATED PG
