What you need is Stuffit Expander which will open the file.
You can get it here:

When it asks what you'd like to open the file navigate to Stuffit (which is free). For some reason Apple stopped bundling Stuffit on their Macs.
You might also check VLC which is a multimedia player that really versatile and plays many different formats.
Here's VLC:
