The Profile

American screenwriter and director known for mythic, muscular storytelling. He directed The Wind and the Lion, Big Wednesday, Conan the Barbarian, and Red Dawn, and co-wrote Apocalypse Now.

Co-writer of Apocalypse Now; screenwriter on Magnum Force and Jeremiah Johnson; director of Red Dawn; frequent collaborations with composer Basil Poledouris.

Three reviews celebrate John Milius’s taste for mythic, muscular storytelling. Big Wednesday is hailed as a generational epic with surfboards instead of horses. Conan the Barbarian shines through image-driven spectacle and Basil Poledouris’s score. The Wind and the Lion emerges as a rousing, romantic adventure with political bite.
