The film depicts the story of Roy Neary, an everyday blue-collar worker in Indiana whose life changes after an encounter with an unidentified flying object (UFO), and Jillian Guiler, a single mother whose three-year-old son Barry is abducted during the same UFO manifestation. It is about a group of people who attempt to contact alien intelligence.
