Blending sci-fi, adventure and a remarkable portrait of childhood, Steven Spielberg’s touching tale of a homesick alien remains a piece of movie magic for young and old as it returns to Big Screen in the Park.

10-year-old Elliot is having a tough time but when a stranded alien ends up in his back yard Elliot must summon the strength and love to help his new friend return home.
