Director Tony Scott lived like his alpha-male action heroes
LOS ANGELES (MCT) — With films such as “Unstoppable” and “Man on Fire,” Tony Scott told adrenaline-filled stories about fearless men — spies and cops, race car drivers and fighter pilots — who live by a code and face death on their own terms.
He filled his cinematic landscape with intrigue and action, avoiding computer effects in favor of real-life stunts with speeding trains and screaming jets, even once shutting down the Mississippi River to blow up a ferryboat.
