Whilst working as a set designer at the BBC, Scott was assigned to design the Daleks for the popular BBC TV serial "Doctor Who" (1963). Scott passed the work on to his friend Raymond Cusick, as he was unable to attend the filming at Ealing. 2001: Ranked #31 in Entertainment Weekly's Power List. 1990s: He was developing a film adaptation of the Richard Matheson novel, "I Am Legend". This project was never finished. Estimated in an interview that he operated on roughly 2,700 commercials. Black Hawk Down (2001) is dedicated to his mother, who died in 2001.

Is the only director, other than George Lucas, who has directed both Harrison Ford and Ewan McGregor in a movie. April 2005: The most successful British director in Hollywood in terms of box office to date. His first feature film, The Duellists (1977) is based on a Joseph Conrad story. In his next film, Alien (1979), the spaceship was known as the Nostromo and its escape ship as the Narcissus. Both are names taken from Conrad stories. 2005: Ranked #28 on Premiere's Power 50 List.

The film was to star Robert Redford and Jodie Foster and was based on the true story of the discovery of the deadly Ebola virus. Various factors, including the development of the similarly-plotted Outbreak (1995), led to the project being cancelled. Coming from an army and fine arts background, he is an inveterate stickler for detail who tackles each movie project with the vehemence of a general with a battle plan.
