After a gentle alien becomes stranded on Earth, the being is discovered and befriended by a young boy named Elliott. Bringing the extraterrestrial into his suburban California house, Elliott introduces E.T., as the alien is dubbed, to his brother and his little sister, Gertie, and the children decide to keep its existence a secret. Soon, however, E.T. falls ill, resulting in government intervention and a dire situation for both Elliott and the alien. Written by Jwelch5742
Classic movie that anyone can enjoy, special effects still hold up. It deserves emotion and action when it wants to. Would recommend this to anyone who has not watched it yet, pretty entertaining movie.
