Additional Information:

Promotional button created to coincide with the 1982 release of the popular film "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial". This particular button was given at a secret pre-view of the movie before it was released. The film was directed and produced by Steven Spielberg and tells the story of a young boy who befriends an alien stranded on earth and helps him return home. E.T. was the highest-grossing film of 1982, and (as of 2013) the 40th highest-grossing film of all time.
