Long before “X-Files,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” allowed audiences to explore the idea of aliens and UFOs on Earth in a realistic, dramatic way. Starting this month, Pluto TV is streaming the sci-fi film about a group of people eager to contact aliens. Richard Dreyfuss and Teri Garr star in the landmark movie, written and directed by Steven Spielberg, about those determined to pursue the secrets of the cosmos.

Watch the “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” trailer:

The “John Wick” franchise is also coming to Pluto in December. The ultra-violent action films focus on an ex-hitman forced to hunt down some of the world’s most egregious killers and avenge the death of his dog Daisy. Created by Derek Kolstad, Keanu Reeves has played Wick in all three big-screen installments, with the fourth slated for theaters in March 2023. Additional films and TV series are in the works, as well. Catch up on all of the righteous vengeance for free.

Given the festive month, the streamer is also running a slew of Christmas films. Among other holiday categories, the Hallmark Movies entry includes “Christmas In Conway,” “A Majestic Christmas,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” (2016), and “Broadcasting Christmas.”

Pluto TV

Pluto TV is a free streaming service backed by Paramount that offers a traditional cable-like channel surfing experience. The service offers hundreds of free round-the-clock channels, including classics like “Star Trek,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “The Price is Right.”

…

Rather than attempting to carry expensive local broadcast affiliates or high-profile live sports leagues, the lineup leans heavily into curated thematic programming. You will find dedicated channels cycling non-stop episodes of many classic TV shows, alongside niche feeds for anime, true crime, classic sitcoms, and live headline news loops from outlets like CBS News. Alongside the live grid, there is also a hefty on-demand vault filled with older Hollywood catalog films, cult classics, and complete archived series.

Because Pluto TV mirrors linear broadcast television, you cannot pause or fast-forward through commercial breaks, nor is there a cloud DVR feature to record airings for later viewing. That said, it’s a great alternative for those looking for a wide range of channels without subscription fees.
