Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Peter Coyote, Henry Thomas, Dee Wallace, Robert MacNaughton
Continuity mistake: When the boys are riding their bikes trying to escape with ET, all the bikes have single brake levers on the right side of their handlebars, but after Elliott shouts that they should follow him to the forest, there's a shot from the POV of one of the bike riders (we know it's not Greg or Elliott) and he has two brake levers on his handlebar.
Elliot: Okay, he's a man from outer space, and we're taking him to his spaceship.
Greg: Well, can't he just beam up?
Elliot: This is reality, Greg.
Trivia: When the children go out on Halloween night, they pass other children dressed up. One that they pass is dressed as Yoda from Star Wars, and at this point the music plays Yoda's theme from Star Wars. John Williams wrote the music for both films.

Answer: They're playing a generic tabletop role-playing game (RPG). In the script, it says they're playing "Dungeons and Dragons," but in the movie, they said Steve is the "Game Master." If it was D&D, Steve would be called the "Dungeon Master."
