American film and television director known for films such as The Onion Field, Sea of Love, Malice, City Hall, Mercury Rising and for directing the unaired episode "Watchbird."

Becker is credited as director on feature films and television; reviews note his work includes crime dramas and thrillers and an unaired sci‑fi episode based on a Robert Sheckley story.

Two DeBaser reviews discuss Harold Becker's work: an unaired sci‑fi episode 'Watchbird' and the 1988 drama 'Cocaine'. Reviewers highlight strong performances (James Woods, James Cromwell), ethical themes around security and drones, and register mixed opinions on execution. Overall reception is thoughtful but reserved.
