He first came to public attention in the 1980s as the director of" Romancing the Stone"( 1984) and the science- fiction comedy" Back to the Future" film trilogy, as well as the live- action/ animated comedy" Who Framed Roger Rabbit"( 1988).

The films he has directed have ranged across a wide variety of genres, for both adults and families. Zemeckis' films are characterized by an interest in state- of- the- art special effects, including the early use of the insertion of computer graphics into live- action footage in" Back to the Future Part II"( 1989) and" Forrest Gump", and the pioneering performance capture techniques seen in" The Polar Express"( 2004)," Monster House"( 2006)," Beowulf"( 2007)," A Christmas Carol"( 2009), and" Welcome to Marwen"( 2018).
