Mac and Me is a 1988 American science fiction adventure film. Co-written with Steve Feke and directed by Stewart Raffill. The decision to create the film was based largely on the success of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). The title Mac and Me comes from the working title for E.T. — E.T. and Me. The film is about a "Mysterious Alien Creature" (MAC) that escapes from nefarious NASA agents and is befriended by a boy who uses a wheelchair due to paraplegia. Together, they try to find MAC's family, from whom he has been separated. The film stars Jade Calegory (in his only film appearance), Christine Ebersole, Jonathan Ward, Katrina Caspary, and (a then-unknown) Jennifer Aniston uncredited in her film debut.
So crack open a warm Coke and pop some Skittles and get sucked into this thrill-ride of eh-pic proportions.
