After a gentle alien becomes stranded on Earth he is discovered and befriended by a young boy named Elliott.

Thus begins one of the most adored films of the 20th century.

“E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” (1982), directed by Steven Spielberg, will fly back onto the big screen for a special one-day-only showing at Bainbridge Cinemas at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 20.

Bringing the extraterrestrial into his suburban California house, Elliott introduces E.T., as the alien is quickly dubbed, to his brother and his little sister, Gertie.

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 his alien friend.

Now, audiences can again Join Elliot (Henry Thomas), Gertie (Drew Barrymore) and Michael (Robert MacNaughton) as they come together to help E.T. find his way back home.

Winning four Academy Awards, including one for the iconic score by John Williams, “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” is “one of the great American films,” according to critic Leonard Maltin, and a story that forever belongs in the hearts and minds of audiences everywhere.
