Steven Spielberg directs this semi-autobiographical drama based on his childhood. Starring Paul Dano, Seth Rogen and Michelle Williams.
Growing up in post-World War II era Arizona, young Sammy Fabelman aspires to become a filmmaker as he reaches adolescence, but soon discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of films can help him see the truth.
New Jersey, 1952. Entranced by his first visit to a movie theatre and haunted by the powerful imagery of Cecil B. DeMille‘s Oscar-winning The Greatest Show on Earth (1952), young Sammy Fabelman returns home seeking to recreate it. And encouraged by Mitzi, his doting mother, Sammy discovers an irresistible passion for making home movies. As a result, the boy’s creative projects become increasingly ambitious, inspired by John Ford and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). However, when a life-altering family secret hidden in plain sight puts a strain on family ties, influencing his work, Sammy will have to believe in the power of the lens, embrace the slow process of growing up, and pursue his dream to become a storyteller.—Nick Riganas
