First showing on network television of Steven Spielberg's fantasy starring Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy

When an unscrupulous developer sends thugs to clear the last five tenants from a crumbling building, nothing short of a miracle can save them. But then help arrives in the shape of two tiny extra terrestrial visitors whose magical powers and mischievous humour soon have the bad guys on the run. Featuring the stars of Cocoon and some of the most original ET's ever filmed.
