Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What is the name of the boy who befriends the title character in the film 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial'? "
...
Played by Henry Thomas (born 1971), Elliott Taylor is a ten-year-old boy who befriends E.T., an alien who is stranded on Earth. Elliott and his friends have to find a way to help E.T. return home while avoiding the attention of the government.
'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' is a 1982 American science fiction film produced and directed by Steven Spielberg (born 1946). On its release, it was an immediate success, surpassing 'Star Wars' to become the highest-grossing movie of all time. The film held this record for 11 years until beaten by 'Jurassic Park' in 1993.
Henry Thomas achieved a career breakthrough with his role in the film 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial', for which he won a Young Artist Award. The film was also a career breakthrough for Drew Barrymore (born 1975), who played Elliott's sister Gertie. Thomas was chosen for the role after being recommended by the American director Jack Fisk (born 1945). Spielberg chose Barrymore for her imagination after telling him a story about being in a punk rock band.
'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' was nominated for nine Oscars at the 55th Academy Awards, including Best Picture. 'Gandhi' won that award, but its director, Richard Attenborough (1923-2014), declared "I was certain that not only would 'E.T.' win, but that it should win." Regardless, 'E.T' went on to win for Best Original Score, Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing, and Best Visual Effects.
