After his TV directorial bow in a 1986 episode of "George Burns Comedy Week", Robinson helmed his first big-screen effort, "In the Mood" (1987), a fanciful rehash of the life and times of the notorious 1940s teen-aged lothario "The Woo Woo Kid." Two years later, Robinson was able to sell producers Lawrence Gordon and Charles Gordon on the notion of a film version of W. P. Kinsella's whimsical baseball novel Shoeless Joe. The resulting film, "Field of Dreams", grossed $62 million, cemented the star power of Kevin Costner, earned the writer/director nominations for an Oscar, a Writer's Guild Award and a Director's Guild Award. Robinson received the 1990 "Screenwriter of the Year" prize from the National Association of Theatre Owners. 1992 he wrote-director the computer hacker adventure, "Sneakers."
