Journey back in time to the 80s and to the story of a lost alien that captured hearts.

Legendary film maker, Steven Spielberg tells the story of Elliott, a boy who befriends an extraterrestrial, dubbed E.T., who is left behind on Earth. With children holding the emotional and moral centre of the film, Elliot and the crew of his family and friends battle against the un-caring forces of adult institutions that seek to capture the gentle extraterrestrial. Their mission is to set E.T. free and send him back to his fellow aliens ... to send him home!
