Steven Spielberg’s 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind tells the story of Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), an ordinary electrician living in Indiana, whose life changes after encountering an unidentified flying object and becomes obsessed with solving this extraterrestrial mystery. This story, brought to life by Spielberg’s visual world and John Williams’ iconic music, explores the phenomenon suggested by the film’s title through a lens of human curiosity and hope.

Winner of the “Oscar for Best Cinematography”, the film is a compelling reflection of humanity’s fascination with the unknown, thanks to its timeless atmosphere and the five-note musical motif that has become a landmark in cinema history.
