Ridley Scott’s brother who also became a film director was Tony Scott.

Born Anthony David Leighton Scott, Tony was the younger brother of Ridley Scott and built a major directing career of his own. He made his feature debut with the stylish 1983 vampire film The Hunger, then became especially known for energetic action and thriller films.

Tony Scott directed Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop II, Days of Thunder, True Romance, Crimson Tide, Enemy of the State, Man on Fire, Déjà Vu, The Taking of Pelham 123, and Unstoppable. His work often used rapid editing, saturated color, kinetic camera movement, and commercial-inspired visual design.
