Three Words That Made Movie History

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial didn’t start out as the sweet family classic everyone remembers today. Its origins go back to Night Skies, a much darker alien project that Spielberg abandoned, but from which one idea survived: a gentle creature left behind on Earth who bonds with a child. While shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark, Spielberg talked through the stranded-alien concept with Melissa Mathison, who turned it into a story about loneliness, childhood, divorce and the longing to go home. Her first draft took about eight weeks, and the film began to take shape under the secret working title A Boy’s Life.

What made the film special was how it made science fiction feel domestic and everyday. Spielberg shot much of the story at a child’s eye level, kept many of the adults’ faces hidden until late in the film and let the most emotional scenes play out naturally rather than over-planned. E.T. wasn’t presented as a monster locked in a lab, but as a strange friend hidden in a suburban house, watching TV, eating Reese’s Pieces and trying to communicate with the kids. Even his voice had an unusual origin: sound designer Ben Burtt built it starting from the raspy voice of Pat Welsh, whom he met by chance in a camera store.

Released in 1982 after premiering at Cannes, E.T. became one of the defining films of the decade: a huge commercial success, a merchandising phenomenon and a rare blockbuster built more on emotion than spectacle. The line “E.T. phone home” entered popular culture almost immediately, but it worked precisely because it captured the heart of the entire film in three simple words. Behind the flying bikes and the glowing finger was a story about a lonely boy, a broken family and an alien able to turn an ordinary suburban world into something magical.
