Trail & District Arts Council and The Royal Theatre present

ET: The Extra-Terrestrial

at the Silver Screen Drive-In

$12/person – Maximum 6 people per car as per Provincial Health Orders – Max 50 cars

Travel back to the 1980’s as 10-year-old Elliott befriends a gentle alien who is stranded on Earth. Determined to help the extra-terrestrial he names E.T., Elliott hides it in his home until it is discovered by his sister (Drew Barrymore at her cutest) and older brother in hilarious circumstances. They decide to keep its existence a secret, but when E.T. and Elliott fall ill, the government steps in with dark motives. Against all odds Elliott, his siblings and friends find the courage to rally together to free E.T. and help it to return to its home world.

A moving story that captivated audiences around the world with a remarkable portrait of childhood, friendship, and understanding that remains a piece of movie magic for young and old. Get nostalgic as kids Trick or Treat and Elliott and E.T. take to the sky on a bike. Laugh as Gertie plays dress-up with the lovable alien. Cry buckets (or was that just me?) as Elliott and ET say goodbye. “Remember, I’ll be right here.”
