OVERVIEW: After an Indiana lineman’s close-range encounter with a UFO, he becomes obsessed with a mysterious shape he cannot explain—as scientists around the world track similar signals toward a remote rendezvous. Steven Spielberg’s awestruck 1977 vision of first contact remains one of cinema’s most humane and wondrous science fiction films.
