E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
1982 | Sci-Fi | USA | Directed by Steven Spielberg
Overview
A boy hides a stranded alien in his closet and flies across the moon on a bicycle. The most personal Spielberg: divorce, suburbia, and a kids table worldview. Top grossing film of the decade, four Oscars. The candy placement changed advertising forever. The bicycle silhouetted on the moon became the studio logo. Childhood wonder, engineered by a man who never outgrew it.
