A controversial biography of the most successful film-maker in history whose power now exceeds that of the greatest movie mogul of Hollywood's golden era. Spielberg's films - most notably Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET, the three Indiana Jones chronicles and Jurassic Park - have grossed billions around the world, and with Schindler's List he received critical acclaim as well as popular admiration. The book traces Spielberg's unhappy adolescence to his present position of fame, fortune and power. Andrew Yule takes the reader through his films, his ruthless deal-making, his girlfriends, two marriages and five children. It also looks at the tragic death of two children and an actor who were killed during the filming of Twilight Zone - The Movie, and the current multi-million dollar legal case with the film director Denis Hoffman, who is interviewed by Yule.
