This color poster for *E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial* is tagged with the subjects of constellations and stars, a reminder of how central the night sky is to the story of a stranded alien who befriends a boy in suburban California. Steven Spielberg's film was released by Universal in 1982 and became one of the most successful movies of its era, and its gentle, wide-eyed creature became a lasting pop-culture figure. The poster's date of about 1985 suggests it was printed several years after the original release, perhaps for a re-release or a later promotional run. Its halftone printing is typical of mass-produced film posters of the period.
