en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Spielberg (Know thy enemy, know thy friend.) Steven Allan Spielberg (born December 18, 1946)[4] is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and business magnate. Spielberg is consistently considered as one of the leading pioneers of the New Hollywood era, as well as being viewed as one of the most popular and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema.[5] In a career spanning more than four decades, Spielbergs films have covered many themes and genres. Spielbergs early science-fiction and adventure films were seen as archetypes of modern Hollywood blockbuster filmmaking. In later years, his films began addressing humanistic issues such as the Holocaust, the transatlantic slave trade, war, and terrorism. He is one of the co-founders of DreamWorks Studios. Spielberg won the Academy Award for Best Director for Schindlers List (1993) and Saving Private Ryan (1998). Three of Spielbergs films—Jaws (1975), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), and Jurassic Park (1993)—achieved box office records, each becoming the highest-grossing film made at the time. To date, the unadjusted gross of all Spielberg-directed films exceeds $8.5 billion worldwide. Forbes puts Spielbergs wealth at $3 billion.[2]
