You may think of movie aliens as monsters out to conquer the planet - but Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind might give you different ideas. The story follows an average family man who becomes convinced he's seen a UFO near his mid-American home. His family don't believe him - in fact, they think he's losing his mind. Eventually, his obsession takes over his life, and he sets off towards a strange rock formation hundreds of miles away that may hold the answers to his questions. Few people who see what that journey leads to will ever forget it...

Fascinating facts
The musical notes played by the mothership during Close Encounters of the Third Kind were performed on the tuba by musician Jim Self – who has also played on the soundtracks of director Steven Spielberg’s films ET: The Extra-Terrestrial and War of the Worlds.
Special effects man Douglas Trumbull created the cloud effects by injecting white paint into tanks of salt and fresh water.
