Spielberg’s tender suburban fable, a record-breaking sensation on its release, has left an indelible mark on popular cinema. When a meek alien is stranded on Earth, young Elliott forms a secret bond with the creature, shielding it from fearful adults. Blending intimate childhood perspective with awe-inspiring spectacle, Spielberg creates a timeless story of friendship, tinged with the ache of loss, elevated by John Williams’s soaring, unforgettable score.
