Steven Spielberg's iconic sci-fi masterpiece, 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' has been beautifully restored in 4K for its 40th Anniversary Edition. This Limited Edition SteelBook includes three versions of the film: the original 1977 theatrical release, the 1980 Special Edition, and the 1998 Director’s Cut.
