This is the 30th Anniversary Edition of the original classic and the first version to appear on Blu-ray Disc™. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial remains today an extraordinary film, one that will warm your heart with its wondrous entertainment and magic. Its story about human values, understanding, compassion, and love is timeless as told through the perspective of a young boy's (Thomas) friendship with a visitor from another planet. Along with the superb performance of Thomas, the rest of the cast is just as natural and believable as the film's feeling of reality. Director Steven Spielberg has digitally enhanced his Oscar-winning 1982 classic with current technology that was not available to him 30 years ago. Four other packages are available: the limited Amazon Exclusive Spaceship Edition, the Target Exclusive SteelBook Edition, the Best Buy Exclusive DigiBook Edition, and the Walmart Exclusive Plush Toy Edition. Also available is a new 30th Anniversary book: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial From Concept To Classic on the making of the film—the book Spielberg himself calls "Our E.T. family album."
