It looks to combine elements in different "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" images: the searchlights, the light geometry of a ship. . .

... and the backlighting of a focal character.

I had a look at "Mister Cellophane" from "Chicago" (John C Reilly), and there's some reminiscence of the backlit figure with stage spotlights.  Maybe "Cabaret" or "Limelight," "All That Jazz" for other searches? 

Oh fellow film buffs...bit of help please. Can anyone suggest a film image this photo matches up to!? TheMackenzie Jul 27, 07:18

Is it from a film itself or is it just trying to recreate an iconic image? Looks like a security guard in a music festival to me. {nm} numbersix_99 Jul 27, 07:24

Looks like an alien ship taking someone wearing a safety vest... :) {nm} slappydavid Jul 27, 07:27

It's one of the Uk's finest law enforcers. There's an FB police page trying to compare images to film shots. So looking for a comparison.. {nm} TheMackenzie Jul 27, 07:30

Platoon, Wolf of Wall Street, Titanic, Sound of Music, Man of Steel (probably the best) .... Or .... lobogotti Jul 27, 07:51

. . . or one of the "Super 8" posters (link to image) second gary Jul 27, 08:15

Reminds me of the scene that introduces Brendan Gleeson's character in A.I. GMov Jul 27, 08:03

Hot Fuzz...or just use Google Image Search... tealfan Jul 27, 09:44

Tron. first or second film. The vest reminds me of the tron suits and all the colors in the photo match. {nm} ryeontherocks Jul 27, 10:18

I knew you guys would come good - some ace ones there! {nm} TheMackenzie Jul 27, 12:29

How about one of the National Treasure moves - the light coming in to pinpoint a spot {nm} JDolphin Jul 27, 12:32

How could I forget..... numbersix_99 Jul 27, 15:12
