Touted as 1985's answer to classic shows like The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, NBC courted Spielberg to create Amazing Stories. Spielberg directed two memorable episodes: "Ghost Train," the series debut, which tells the tale of an old man looking for redemption over a horrible train crash that he felt he caused, and "The Mission," about a gunner on a B-52 bomber who magically saves his crew when his cartoons come to life (and likewise, serve as a glimpse into Spielberg's award-winning WWII-era films and TV shows.)
