Close Encounters of the Third Kind
1977137 minScience Fiction, Drama 7.4

After an encounter with UFOs, an electricity linesman feels undeniably drawn to an isolated area in the wilderness where something spectacular is about to happen.

Editor's Verdict

NO

"While the movie had a Holiday Release (suggesting it might have been strategically timed near Christmas), the core narrative, themes, setting, and iconography are entirely dedicated to science fiction and extraterrestrial contact. There is no meaningful connection to the Christmas season within the plot or character arcs."
