When Close Encounters of the Third Kind arrived in 1977, Steven Spielberg turned UFO fascination into one of the decade’s most memorable science fiction movies. The film followed Richard Dreyfuss‘ Roy Neary, an Indiana lineman whose life is upended after a UFO encounter, while Melinda Dillon‘s Jillian Guiler searches for her young son, Cary Guffey’s Barry Guiler. Teri Garr‘s Ronnie Neary, François Truffaut‘s Claude Lacombe, and Bob Balaban‘s David Laughlin rounded out the film’s main cast.
