RIDLEY SCOTT - A RETROSPECTIVE

The stories behind many great films are revealed, from science fiction classics Alien, Blade Runner and The Martian, through timeless thrillers Hannibal and American Gangster, to historical hits Kingdom of Heaven, Napoleon and Gladiator II. The book explores the themes and motifs that unite such different films, and the methods of Scotts approach to his medium. This is the account of a director who has never been less than stubbornly, brilliantly, unforgettably his own man.
