Description
The RI and SFX magazine are teaming up to bring you classic science fiction on the big screen in the RI theatre. Each month the editors of SFX will choose and introduce a sci-fi gem you owe it to yourself to see.
June’s film
Kicking off the series is Steven Spielberg’s 1977 classic, Close encounters of the third kind. After seeing a UFO, electrical worker Roy (Richard Dreyfuss) becomes obsessed with aliens. Undaunted by his doubting family, he heads for a mountain in Wyoming. But there are others converging on the wilderness, including a team of scientists who believe they are heading for humanity’s first contact with aliens.
