Left behind by his ship, a friendly alien befriends and bonds with lonely 10-year old earthling Elliot (Henry Thomas), as they both try to figure out how to “phone home.” But can they outrun (or fly) the research-hungry government scientists?

This mega-blockbuster was nominated for nine Oscars and won four (including one for John Williams’ unforgettable score).
