Scientists, artists, movies and a monkey collide in Steven Spielberg's spellbinding The Fabelmans, opening in select theaters this weekend before expanding nationwide at Thanksgiving. Michelle Williams and Paul Dano star as the loving parents of teenage Sammy (Gabriel LaBelle), who has fallen head over heels in love with the silver screen and is determined to make his own films, come what may.

The artistic bond between mother and son is established early in our exclusive clip. Mitzi (Michelle Williams) presents her young son Sammy (Mateo Zoryon Francis-DeFord) with a movie camera. She then kindly gives him a clear, precise explanation for her actions, as well as her motives, which serves to reinforce their tender-hearted relationship.

Watch the enthralling clip below, then get tickets to enjoy The Fabelmans with your family and friends. The family-friendly adventure opens in limited release this weekend before opening in theaters everywhere at Thanksgiving.
