Unheimliche Begegnung der dritten Art (1977)
In der amerikanischen Provinz geht Merkwürdiges vor: Elektronische Geräte machen sich selbständig, mehrere Menschen werden unabhängig voneinander Augenzeugen unnatürlicher Himmelsphänomene, und einige von ihnen fühlen fortan die Neigung, seltsame Dinge zu tun und einen mysteriösen Tafelberg im Mittelwesten aufzusuchen. Dort stellen sich auch bald jede Menge Militär und Wissenschaftler ein, denn Großes steht bevor: Eine außerirdische Zivilisation besucht Mutter Erde, um Kontakt mit der Menschheit aufzunehmen.
Der Regisseur: Steven Spielberg
