About this movie

Planes reported missing in 1945 suddenly appear in the Mojave desert. A commercial flight is buzzed by a 'bright' object that the pilot 'wouldn't know how to describe'. Roy Neary, while working one night, has a Close Encounter... The US Government determine where the visitors plan to land and create an elaborate cover-up to keep people away. However, a group of people, including Neary, share a vision which draws them to the place and a meeting with new, and old, friends. (Original Title - Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (special Edition)) © 1977, renewed 2005, © 1980 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
