About

A lonely young boy forms an extraordinary friendship with a gentle alien stranded on Earth, embarking on a magical adventure that has captivated audiences for generations.

Steven Spielberg’s beloved science-fiction classic follows ten-year-old Elliott (Henry Thomas), who discovers and befriends an extraterrestrial accidentally left behind by his companions. As Elliott and his siblings work to keep E.T. hidden from the authorities while searching for a way to return him home, an unbreakable bond develops between boy and alien. Balancing childhood wonder with genuine emotion, Spielberg crafts a timeless coming-of-age story, elevated by unforgettable performances, John Williams’ soaring Academy Award-winning score, and Carlo Rambaldi’s remarkable creature effects.

Upon its release in 1982, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial became the highest-grossing film of all time and cemented Spielberg’s reputation as one of cinema’s defining storytellers. Winner of four Academy Awards, the film remains one of the most cherished family adventures ever made, its themes of friendship, empathy and belonging continuing to resonate with audiences more than four decades later.

Presented in IMAX, this screening offers our guests the opportunity to experience Spielberg’s enduring masterpiece on an appropriately grand scale. The larger image and immersive sound enhancing the film’s breathtaking sense of adventure.
