E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL

Journey back to the magic and adventure of "one of the great American films" (Leonard Maltin), the beloved masterpiece from Academy Award-winning director Steven Spielberg, celebrating its 35th Anniversary in 2017!

"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.
