Summary:
The Sugarland Express is often forgotten when speaking of Spielberg’s career. This is understandable as it isn’t his strongest film. However, the efforts of the cast, particularly Goldie Hawn make it still a film worth visiting. It is inspired by actual events, but the fictional elements make it stick. The tearing apart of the family and the various social obstacles in the way once again appear in Speilberg’s work. This isn’t by accident and comes from some personal tribulations in his life that are then blended into the film. Something that many of the best directors of all time have done.
