The contemporary cinematic presentation, inspired special effects, and stellar cast made a movie in a class of its own. Despite art direction in part by Leslie Dilley, one of the art directors who worked on Star Wars just a few years before, it was the antithesis of the melodramatic space opera. Everything about the movie is iconic, including the title card. Perhaps most influential of them all - in contention with Blade Runner - is his 1979 sci-fi film, Alien. Jane, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, and many, many more. In his near 60-year tenure directing cinema, he’s created classics including Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise, G.I. They’re backed into the identity of popular culture.
His style and techniques permeate genres and mediums beyond quantification. It’s hard to overstate the profound impact of Ridley Scott on modern visual media.
