About the movie

A creature from another planet is left behind on Earth by his spaceship. He's befriended by 10-year-old Elliott (Henry Thomas), who enlists the help of older brother Michael (Robert Macnaughton) and little sister Gertie (Drew Barrymore). Together, they conceal him from their mother and the authorities. They name him E.T., help him to contact his own planet and plan a rescue mission to get him home.

Accessibility information for Starlight Cinema

The Planetarium is accessible so everyone can have a special experience here. It's not super dark and you can move around, go out and come back in if you like. If you have a wheelchair, we have spaces for you to sit with seats for your family and friends. The stairs have lights to make them easy to see.
