E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

0 upcoming performances in New York

Steven Spielberg’s 1982 science‑fantasy film follows Elliott, a suburban child who shelters a stranded alien he names E.T., then joins his friends and family in a quiet, risky effort to get the visitor home. Now screening at the Museum of Modern Art (Floors T2/T1), the film sits naturally in MoMA’s program of modern screen classics. In New York, it remains part of the city’s long afterlife of studio cinema in repertory houses and museums. One clear achievement is its insistence that wonder and fear can share the same domestic space.
