When Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) encounters a UFO,
he becomes fascinated with all things paranormal.
Roy’s obsession leads him across the USA to witness
the first arrival of extra-terrestrials on Earth. As well as

this film offered the relatively ground-breaking
perspective that aliens could be peaceful beings rather
than war-mongering monsters.
