Programme Information
Planes that were reported missing in 1945 suddenly start appearing in the Mojave Desert, and a blindingly bright and unidentifiable object buzzes a commercial flight. Then line worker, Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss), is called out to investigate a power cut and his truck mysteriously stalls and is engulfed in a bright, blinding light from the sky.
After this event he is plagued by strange and unusual visions and the same five musical notes keep playing in his head over and over. It soon becomes apparent that what he encountered, whilst on his investigation, was an extra terrestrial craft.
The US government also know of this craft and determine where these visitors plan to land. They soon start to plan an elaborate cover-up, which will keep the general public away from the area.
However a group of people, including Neary, share a vision which begins to be undeniably and uncontrollably draw them to this isolated area in the middle of nowhere where they meet with new, and old, friends and where something spectacular is about to happen to them.
Will he find the meaning of the visions, and who - or what - placed them in his mind?
