The most commercially successful director of the last 15 years, Spielberg is primarily an entertainer - his films being a vehicle for escapism. This book explores the Spielberg "phenomenon" by looking both at the films themselves - their plots, stars, directional style and cinematic techniques - and also by examining the popularity of the themes and subject matter. The text is illustrated with production shots and film stills, and a filmography provides plot synopses for all of Spielberg's films.
