It was between the founders of the Amblin Entertainment and more of recent (together with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen) of the DreamWorks SKG, one of the most important film studios of Hollywood. Spielberg is known from the historians of the like one cinema of the well-known movie brats that contributed in the beginning of the New Hollywood of the years '70: together with the you connect and friends George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Brian De Palm, Spielberg crebbe realizing film. Still teenager, began with its friends to turn film of adventure in 8mm (some stages of these film were included like bonus in the edition DVD of Saved the soldier Ryan). Always it confessed that it had a large influence from the producer David Lean.

In 1968, to twenty-two years, it realized its first short destined to to be projected in the salt, Amblin, from that takes the name the first movie studio from him been based on, the Amblin Entertainment.

After to have some law episodes of varied television show, in 1971 Spielberg, rifacendosi to a story of Richard Matheson, directed its first feature film, titled Duel, which, simply having destined to the Tv, was more late distributed also in the film salt. The film (television drama from the same Matheson) is the story of a "duel" between a truck driver and a common driver, and became in the time a cult, more time intended in video home. The film debut of Spielberg avvenne with Sugarland Express, and been worth him excellent critics and the opportunity of to direct The shark (1975), a horror film based on the story of Peter Benchley.

The successive film of Spielberg was 1941: You alarm to Hollywood, a comedy acclimated to Los Angeles few day after the attack of Pearl Harbor and interpreted from two stars of the Saturday Night Live Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. The film resulted the first flop of Spielberg. But more important his works, Spielberg the girò to leave from the years '80. In 1981, collaborò for the first time with the friend George Lucas, survivor from the success of the Star saga of Wars, to realize THE predators of the coffer lost, with Harrison Ford (that also Lucas had used in its film) in the role dell' archeologist-Indian adventurer Jones. The saga ebbe two sequel, always directed by Spielberg and produced from Lucas, Indian Jones and the damned and Indian temple Jones and the last crusade.

A year after the first adventure of Indian Jones, Spielberg returned at its passion for the aliens giving life to E. T. l' extra-earthly, a story of inspiration disneyana on the friendship between a boy and a small alien, that feared with its help of to return house. And. T. batté still a time all of the record of collection of the period, remaining unsurpassed for a lot of years.

Although their large success, little critics considered The predators either E. T. to the level of classics of the cinema like The Godfather or Fourth Power. Some of the film more "serious" and pledged some producer, like The empire of the sun and The purple color I am an effective reply to this sottovalutazione.

Spielberg experienced more times without success to turn a version from the living person of the story of Peter Pan. In 1991, decided to create an actual story beyond that classic: Hook - Capitan hook discusses of a Peter Pan of mezz' age (interpreted from Robin Williams), that returns to the island that there is not to confront the old enemy, Capitan Hook (interpreted from Dustin Hoffman).

After the success of these two large film, that yielded him in all ten Oscar (7 for Schindler' s List and 3 for Jurassic Park), Spielberg returned at the alone direction in 1997. It directed the I continue of Jurassic Park, The world lost, that realized immediately large collections.
