E.T. on the Fast Lane

In "E.T. on the Fast Lane", a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game unfolds when a rogue bus, rigged by bomb expert Howard Payne, careens out of control through the streets of Los Angeles, threatening to explode if it slows down. Enter Elliott, a resourceful young boy who befriends an extraterrestrial being, E.T., who has been hiding on the bus. As Elliott and his siblings try to keep E.T.'s existence a secret, they must also help the alien recover from a mysterious illness that's causing it to lose its telekinetic powers. With the government hot on their tail, Elliott and his family must use their wits and E.T.'s newfound connection to the bus's computer system to outsmart Payne and his henchmen, all while navigating the treacherous LA traffic and keeping E.T. safe. Can they reach the safety of the outskirts before it's too late, or will the bus explode, taking E.T. and the entire city with it?
