Et the Extra-Terrestrial

Synopsis
A lost alien, three million light years away from home befriends a lonely ten-year old boy, who is willing to take him home.
A ‘sentimental sci-fi gem...arguably Spielberg’s most personal work’ is considered to be one of the Oscar Academy’s biggest oversights as it was beaten to best picture by Gandhi. (The Guardian, 2019).
