Which Twilight Zone: The Movie segment was directed by Steven Spielberg?

Steven Spielberg directed the “Kick the Can” segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie.

Released in 1983, Twilight Zone: The Movie is an anthology film divided among four directors: John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and George Miller. Spielberg’s contribution, “Kick the Can,” reimagines the 1962 television episode of the same name. In the film, elderly residents at Sunnyvale Retirement Home rediscover childhood joy after playing a mysterious nighttime game led by Mr. Bloom, played by Scatman Crothers.

The other answer choices correspond to different segments. “Time Out” was directed by Landis, “It’s a Good Life” by Dante, and “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” by Miller. All four segments draw on the earlier television series, which is why the film’s structure can make the directors easy to mix up.

Spielberg had originally considered adapting “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,” but the project shifted to “Kick the Can.” The film was produced by Spielberg and Landis and marked a major theatrical expansion of the television anthology’s format, combining new versions of classic stories with a cinematic scale.
