Descrição

A mente criativa do aclamado diretor e produtor Steven Spielberg, baseada na revista em quadrinhos mais famosa da ficção-científica, desenvolve uma série inusitada com histórias, do tipo que são contadas ao redor de uma fogueira ou lidas à noite para as crianças. Contos voltados para a fantasia mas que também exploram os gêneros humor, suspense, drama e terror, para surpreender o público a cada vez que eles ouvissem o tema de abertura da série. Dirigidos por feras, como Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Paul Bartel e Burt Reynolds, Amazing Stories traz toda a magia hipnotizante, mistério e suspense de alguns dos mais talentosos contadores de histórias do cinema. O sucesso da criação de Spielberg foi tanto, que rendeu à série diversos prêmios importantes da televisão, entre eles o Emmy Awards.
