This book is devoted to the critical study of the cinema of John
Milius, filling a major gap in the literature by combining the
examination of the artistic, historical and cultural significance
of Milius' work, with an in-depth analysis of his films. Although
most contemporary film-viewers have forgotten him, John Milius has
been one of the most influential and controversial film-makers in
the history of American cinema. Along with the likes of George
Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese, Milius was a
central figure of the so called 'New Hollywood'. Milius, who gained
an Academy Award nomination as screenwriter for Apocalypse Now
(1979), reached the apex of his directorial career in the 1980s
with films such as Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Red Dawn (1984).
More recently, he was involved in a series of innovative projects
such as the creation of the HBO series Rome (2005-2007) and the
invention of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
