"Magical." -Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
"A film that connects so beautifully to our sense of wonder and joy." -Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"A sublime modern fairy tale, a movie that, if anything, looks subtler, darker, and more intimate now than it did when originally released." -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
After a gentle alien becomes stranded on Earth, the being is discovered and befriended by a young boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas). Bringing the extraterrestrial into his suburban California house, Elliott introduces E.T., as the alien is dubbed, to his brother and his little sister, Gertie (Drew Barrymore), and the children decide to keep its existence a secret. Soon, however, E.T. falls ill, resulting in government intervention and a dire situation for both Elliott and the alien.
