Description
Original Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) movie poster, US one sheet format, featuring artwork by Bob Peak for Steven Spielberg’s landmark science fiction film. This poster was produced for the film’s original theatrical release in the United States.
Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Richard Dreyfuss, François Truffaut, and Melinda Dillon, Close Encounters of the Third Kind is widely regarded as one of the defining works of modern science fiction cinema. Its visual identity, including the iconic image of the illuminated roadway leading toward the unknown, has become central to the film’s legacy.
The poster artwork by Bob Peak, one of the most important American illustrators of the 20th century, reflects the era’s shift toward painterly, cinematic poster design. His work on this title is considered among the most recognizable imagery associated with 1970s Hollywood.
Printed as a lithograph in the standard US one sheet size (27 x 41 inches), this poster is professionally linen backed using acid-free conservation methods. Linen backing stabilizes the paper, preserves the piece, and allows for safe display.
This is an original vintage poster, not a reproduction, and is presented in excellent condition.
