About this title

Synopsis

Steven Spielberg is one of the most successful film-makers in history. His hits include "Jaws", "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "ET: The Extra-Terrestrial", "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler's List". This biography charts Spielberg's career from his boyhood 8mm home movies to the epic sweep of "Schindler's List" and beyond. It tells the story of his unhappy adolescence on the fringes of American society to his present unrivalled position of power. It also gives the story of modern Hollywood and of the "Movie Brat" generation of directors - Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, John Milius and Brian de Palma - all of them Spielberg's colleagues, collaborators and friends.
