The 1977 science fiction film by Steven Spielberg, ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ tells the story of Roy Neary, played by Richard Dreyfuss, whose life changes after an encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO).

The movie’s plot unfolds in a series of UFO reported sightings that occur in multiple locations on the globe. Roy is an electrical lineman who experiences a close encounter with a UFO when it flies over his truck and lightly burns the side of his face with its bright lights.

He then becomes fascinated with UFOs and is obsessed with subliminal, mental images of a mountain-like shape. Eventually a UFO sighting in India reports that the spaceship emitted a five-tone musical phrase which scientists identify as a series of numbers that are geographical coordinates, which point to Devils Tower, in Wyoming.

Roy and another person, a woman who also had a close encounter and whose child had been abducted, travel to Devils Tower, and evade the U.S. military that have surrounded the area. After dozens of UFOs appear in the night sky, finally a mothership lands and previous people, including the abducted child, missing pilots and sailors emerge from the mothership. Aliens emerge momentarily and select Roy to join them on their travels.

Devils Tower (the apostrophe is purposely omitted) is a butte, composed of igneous rock in the Black Hills, near Hulst, in northeastern Wyoming, United States.
