E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

Director: Steven Spielberg

1982 / 115min / 4K DCP

A world-conquering pop culture phenomenon on its original release, today it’s easier to see Spielberg’s boy-and-his-alien fable as the movie it always was—modest and familiar in its domestic setting, supremely sensitive to all the fun and the fear of childhood, and very often close to achieving the sublime. Abandoned on earth, a duck-walking alien longing to “Phone home” encounters a human boy who needs companionship, with unforgettable and heart-rending results.
