«The best stories come out of the truth»
Sir Ridley Scott (born 30 November 1937) is an English film director and producer. Following his commercial breakthrough with the science-fiction horror film «Alien» (1979), further works include the neo-noir dystopian science fiction film «Blade Runner», historical drama «Gladiator» (which won the Academy Award for Best Picture), and science fiction film «The Martian».
Scott’s work has an atmospheric, highly concentrated visual style. Though his films range widely in setting and period, they frequently showcase memorable imagery of urban environments, whether 2nd century Rome («Gladiator»), 12th century Jerusalem («Kingdom of Heaven»), Medieval England («Robin Hood»), contemporary Mogadishu («Black Hawk Down»), the future cityscapes of «Blade Runner», or the distant planets in «Alien», «Prometheus», «The Martian» and «Alien: Covenant». His films are also known for their strong female characters.
Scott has been nominated for three Academy Awards for Directing (for «Thelma & Louise», «Gladiator» and «Black Hawk Down»). In 1995, both Ridley and his brother Tony received a BAFTA for Outstanding British Contribution To Cinema. In 2003, Scott was knighted for his «services to the British film industry». In a 2004 BBC poll Scott was named the tenth most influential person in British culture. In 2015 he received an honorary doctorate from the Royal College of Art in London. In 2018 Scott received the BAFTA Fellowship for lifetime achievement.
