The story is loosely based on Spielberg's life experience, focusing mainly on the protagonist's growing up period and his relationship with his parents, who are not named Steven but live in Phoenix, Arizona like him. Spielberg lived in Phoenix in the late 1950s and early 1960s. While facing anti-Semitism, he also used his father's 8mm camera to shoot home movies and adventure movies. In high school, Spielberg's family moved to California. Later, his parents divorced and he lived with his father. His tense relationship with his father also became the inspiration for his films such as "ET the Extraterrestrial", "Captain Hook", "Jurassic Park", "Lincoln", and "Catch Me If You Can".
