Comment
Richard Dreyfuss has a close encounter with a UFO and seeks answers to other stange happenings as earth has its first encounter with life from another world. This is one of the films that set the standard for Sci-Fi films in the late 1970's. This film is Steven Spielberg doing what he does best with a haunting musical score from John Williams. It is the mix of an ordinary man and scientists meeting aliens.
