In 1952, Jewish couple Burt and Mitzi Fabelman take their young son Sammy to see “The Greatest Show on Earth” by Cecil B. DeMille. It is the first film he has ever seen, and the spectacle of a crashing train, captured on film, seems to haunt Sammy's thoughts. With his mother’s motivation, young Sammy soon starts shooting the crashing scene repeatedly with his father’s 8mm camera and creates a movie on his own.
The film is a fictionalized account of Steven Spielberg's life growing up, between his relationship with his family and the growth of his love and passion for films and directing.
