E.T. the Extra Terrestrial

Steven Spielberg | 1982 | 115 MINS
USA
In this Spielberg classic, a troubled child summons the courage to help a friendly alien escape from Earth and return to his home planet.

Family Flicks

In Detail

After a gentle alien becomes stranded on Earth, he is befriended by a young boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas) who brings the extra terrestrial (E.T.) into his house, introducing him to his brother (C. Thomas Howell) and little sister, (Drew Barrymore), and the children decide to keep its existence a secret.

But when E.T. falls ill, everything changes and a dire situation unfolds.

40 years on, this is still a spellbinding film that reminds us of human compassion and the eternal joy of cinema!

Tickets £2.50 N.B. This is a family promotion to introduce more families to the cinema, so it is exclusively for adults accompanied by a child and children by an adult. If we have any remaining tickets, we will open this up to unaccompanied adults a week prior to the screening.
