E.T. the Extraterrestrial

1982, dir Steven Spielberg w/Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, Robert MacNaughton, Dee Wallace Peter Coyote, 115 min, 35mm

Set in a utopic 1980s suburbia, Spielberg’s E.T. follows a boy who encounters a friendly stranded alien being. As the boy (and eventually his family and friends) struggle to protect it from the rest of the world, the alien searches for a way to return home. Impossible-to-resist sentimentality coupled with an almost ruthlessly commercial promotional campaign made E.T. one of the biggest blockbusters of the early ‘80s.

A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 3:30PM screening of GREMLINS. No additional purchase is necessary.
