Long before computer animations were available, the great Italian special effects expert, Carlo Rambaldi, developed and built the aluminium alloy skeleton model of the endearing extra-terrestrial (ET).

Directed and produced by Steven Spielberg, the film was the highest-grossing movie of all time, surpassing Star Wars, and it maintained that title for eleven years until Spielberg's own Jurassic Park overtook it in 1993.

"Pre-dating modern CGI technology and effects, this one-of-a-kind cinematographic relic (constructed in 1981) features 85 points of movement and is regarded as an engineering masterpiece," read the description of the model.

Future of the Global Aluminium Castings Industry

All those who saw ET: The Extra-Terrestrial, in which an extra-terrestrial crash-landed from space and was taken in and cared for by a group of school children who kept it a secret from adults, will never forget the alien model. Drew Barrymore, who played the lead role in the movie, was said to have carried lunch for the ET daily, as the model seemed so real at that time. She was only seven then and was a part of the child star cast.
