Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Steven Spielberg steered this ambitious 1977 mothership from start to finish, serving as writer and director. After the runaway success of Spielberg's Jaws series, the blockbuster maestro next took on this project, the story of a UFO-obsessed man and his encounter with aliens, a journey that comes to span the entire globe, including Dharamsala, India.

The aliens' mothership, with its flashing lights and immense proportions, remains the film's iconic image.

Did you know that a part of the shooting was done in Mumbai?
