Incontri ravvicinati del terzo tipo (1977)
In una zona deserta dello Wyoming, nei pressi del famoso Picco del Diavolo (una curiosa formazione vulcanica citata in tutti i libri di geologia), il governo americano sta preparando segretamente una base di atterraggio per navi extraterrestri. Ma alcune persone dotate di percezione extrasensoriale si sentono attirate verso il Picco del Diavolo. Due di questi sensitivi, Roy, un elettrotecnico, e Jillian, una donna a cui gli extraterrestri hanno rapito il figlio, giungono all'appuntamento con l'astronave misteriosa. Il bambino rapito viene restituito e Roy sale sull'Ufo.
