Academy Award-winning director of the ''[[Back to The Future]]'' trilogy, ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'' and ''[[Forrest Gump]]'', '''Robert Zemeckis''' started off as a protégé of [[Steven Spielberg]] in [[The Seventies]]. Zemeckis and his writing partner Bob Gale (they were collectively known as The Bobs) wrote several cult films which flopped during this time, including ''I Wanna Hold Your Hand'' (directed by Zemeckis), ''[[1941]]'' (directed by Spielberg) and ''Used Cars'' (directed by Zemeckis).
Zemeckis first hit it big in [[The Eighties]] directing the light-hearted adventure film ''[[Romancing the Stone]]''. He followed it up with ''Back To The Future'' (which The Bobs had written a few years before, but couldn't get made) and ''Roger Rabbit''. At the end of the decade, The Bobs made a couple ''Back To The Future'' sequels [[Executive Meddling|to please Universal's executives]]. Starting in [[The Nineties]], Zemeckis went on to direct more "serious" fare such as ''Forrest Gump'', ''[[Contact (film)|Contact]]'' and ''[[Cast Away]]''.
