The attraction begins with Creator/StevenSpielberg appearing as himself over a television monitor, [[MrExposition explaining to guests the entirety of the situation]]. He explains that E.T.'s homeworld, the Green Planet, is dying of an unknown sickness and that E.T. is the only one that can save it with his healing touch; with the problem being that E.T. is stuck on Earth again and needs the guests to bring him home.
From there, guests board "bicycles" to embark on the journey to Green Planet, while at the same time having to avoid the police, who are out to capture E.T. again.

** There's an almost-impossible to see sign in the forest queue line that says: "Remove nothing from the forest except nourishment for the soul, consolation for the heart, and inspiration for the mind."
** Also in the queue line, there's an animatronic rabbit hidden in one of the bushes; a nod to how there's a brief shot of a rabbit in the opening scene of the film.

'''E.T. Adventure''' is a suspended dark ride that can be found at [[UniversalStudios Universal Studios Florida and formerly, at Universal Studios Hollywood and Japan]]. The attraction acts as a sequel to the [[ETtheExtraterrestrial movie]], where E.T. has once again found himself on Earth and needs the help of the guests to return him to the Green Planet, which will soon die without his healing touch. The guests are thus sent on a daring mission to evade the policeman and scientists looking to capture E.T. again and get him home once more.

!!E.T. Adventure provides examples of the following tropes:
* AuthorAvatar: Steven Spielberg appears directly in the pre-show to explain everything that's going on and what the guests need to do.
* ContinuityNod: The makeshift-communicator from the film reappears in the forest queue line, where it is now showing messages that are coming from E.T.'s planet.
* ExpandedUniverse: We now get to see what E.T.'s homeworld looks like, as well as more of his own species.
* MrExposition: Steven Spielberg serves this role to an almost overwhelming extent.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: E.T. has now gained the ability to make the bicycles go lightspeed towards his planet and the ability to teleport the riders back to Earth, which of course begs the question as to why he didn't use these abilities in film...
