Steven Spielberg

Steven Spielberg (b. 1946) is an American filmmaker whose work helped define the modern blockbuster while sustaining a parallel interest in historical drama and personal storytelling. After early breakthroughs with Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, he shaped popular adventure cinema through the Indiana Jones films and Jurassic Park. Alongside spectacle, Spielberg has pursued moral and historical inquiry in films such as Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, and Lincoln. His cinema balances technical fluency with emotional directness, returning repeatedly to themes of wonder, memory, and responsibility.
