In a career spanning more than four decades, Spielberg's films have spanned many themes and genres. Spielberg's early science-fiction and adventure films were seen as archetypes of modern Hollywood escapist filmmaking.[ 2] In later years, his films began addressing humanistic issues such as the Holocaust , the transatlantic slave trade , civil rights , war, and terrorism .
Spielberg won the Academy Award for Best Director for Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan , as well as receiving five other nominations.[ 3] Three of Spielberg's films—Jaws , E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial , and Jurassic Park —achieved box office records, originated, and came to epitomize the blockbuster film.[ 4] The worldwide box office receipts of all Spielberg-directed films exceeds $10 billion worldwide, making him the highest-grossing director in cinematic history .
