The American Film Institute's Directors: Robert Zemeckis profiles the Academy Award-winning director of blockbuster hits and critic's picks. The video chronicles Zemeckis progression from a teenager obsessed with making 8 mm movies to a hungry USC Film School student to a red-hot Hollywood director. Considered a creator of modern classics, such as Used Cars, Back to the Future, Romancing the Stone, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Forrest Gump, and Contact, Robert Zemeckis explains how he cultivated his considerable skills and shaped his artistic vision. ~ Betsy Boyd, All Movie Guide
