This poster was withdrawn at the time in favour of the image showing Elliot and E.T.’s fingers meeting, however, the ‘flying bicycle’ scene is one of the best-remembered from the film and such is the image’s power that Spielberg went on to use it as the logo for his production company, Amblin Entertainment. Timeless and instantly recognisable, the shot of Elliot and E.T. silhouetted against the moon is one of the most enduring in cinema history and, now a rare and valuable collector’s item, the poster’s stark simplicity perfectly captures the film’s heartfelt story.
