Warner Bros. has announced the re-release date for Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary.
This classic sci-fi film stars Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda Dillon, Teri Garr, François Truffaut, Bob Balaban, and Lance Henrikson.
Electrical lineman Roy Neary (Dreyfuss) is one of several people who experience a close encounter of the first kind, witnessing UFOs flying through the night sky. He is subsequently haunted by a mountain-like image and becomes obsessed with discovering what it represents, much to the dismay of his family. Meanwhile, government agents around the world have close encounters of the second kind, discovering physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitors. Together, Roy and the agents follow clues leading them to an encounter of the third kind: contact.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind will be re-released for a limited run on September 1, 2017.
