About Close Encounter
A skeptical teenage girl, Riley, reluctantly joins her UFO-obsessed father, Jerry, on a road trip to a UFO convention, only to experience an otherworldly encounter that brings them closer together.
Directed by Jeph Porter, Close Encounter leans on a strong ensemble — Allison Carmody, Dale Dobson, Alison Banowsky — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 2026.
