On this day in history, June 11, 1982, the Oscar-winning film "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," directed by Steven Spielberg, is released, hailed as "rare blockbuster that is also a work of art."
"In Spielberg’s enduring masterpiece, one of the most wondrous and deeply touching of all science-fiction movies, young Elliott, a lonely child of divorce, befriends an outer-space creature who has been abandoned by his fellow aliens and yearns to return home to his distant home planet," says the Museum of the Moving Image. "Before long, a special link develops between E.T. and Elliott, who will eventually risk his own safety to return E.T. to his planet." The film won four Oscars, for Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score and Best Sound. Erica Lamberg is a contributing reporter for Fox News Digital.
