 1977
 Two parallel stories are told. In the first| a group of research scientists from a variety of backgrounds are investigating the strange appearance of items in remote
locations| primarily desert regions. In continuing their investigation| one of the lead scientists| a Frenchman named Claude Lacombe| incorporates the Kodály method
of music education as a means of communication in their work. The response| in turn| at first baffles the researchers| until American cartographer David Laughlin
deciphers the meaning of the response. In the second| electric company lineman and family man Roy Neary and single mother Jillian Guiler are among some individuals
in Muncie| Indiana who experience some paranormal activity before some flashes of bright lights in the sky| which they believe to be a UFO. Roy becomes obsessed with
what he saw| unlike some others| especially in some form of authority| who refuse to acknowledge their belief that it was a UFO in not wanting to appear crazy. That
obsession ...
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is deeply humane sci-fi exploring male obsession, cosmic mysticism, and music.  |
