World War II veterans lauded Steven Spielberg for his chaotically realistic representation of the storming of Omaha Beach. Fuller was a veteran of that invasion himself, and he strove for something other than purely visual realism. Like Spielberg, he was working to convey the brutality of war but, as Connor explains, “unlike in Saving Private Ryan, it was never an exercise in verisimilitude but rather an exercise in filmmaking.” A master of the overstatement, Fuller’s abrupt humor, drama, and violence serve as a means—not an end?...

...HEADY STUFF WHEN CAPTAINS OF industry and world leaders--even movie directors--buy into your visions of the future. But for Peter Schwartz, it's all in a day's work. Remember the talking ads, animated cereal box and self-updating newspaper in Stephen Spielberg's Minority Report, set in 2054? All from Schwartz. Meanwhile, his consulting firm, Global Business Network (GBN), based in Emeryville, Calif., plots out future scenarios--such as whether another SARS outbreak could affect Singapore Airlines--to help businesses plan for the unthinkable. "Somewhere in each scenario exercise--if we've done our homework...
