E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

1982

E.T. celebrates its 20th anniversary with a theatrical rerelease that includes new scenes and special effects as well as deleted scenes. Steven Spielberg's 1982 smash hit tells the heartwarming story of the special bond 10-year-old Elliot forges with an alien he names E.T. The adventures they share as Elliot tries to hide his new friend and E.T. tries to get back to his planet ("E.T. phone home!") provide plenty of action, laughter and tears.

He is afraid. He is totally alone. He is 3 million light years from home.
