The Fabelmans is a semi-autobiographical film. It details the dissolution of the marriage of Mitzi (Michelle Williams) and Burt Fabelman (Paul Dano) as seen through the eyes of Spielberg’s surrogate, played by Gabriel.
The director’s alter ego in the film is Sammy Fabelman, the firstborn and only son of Burt and Mitzi, who, in turn, are thinly disguised versions of Spielberg’s own parents: Arnold Spielberg and his wife Leah.
The film opens with Sammy being taken to the movies by his parents for the first time.

Steven recently shared that his fears about the Covid-19 pandemic inspired him to make the film.
He said: “I was terrified that this was an epic-level, end-of-days event, I mean extinction-level event, that was happening to the world.”
The filmmaker added that his fear made him decide which movie he really needed to make, should it be his last: “If I had the chance to make one more movie, it would be this story.”
