Walter Hill is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. He is widely known for his action films and revival of the Western genre. He has directed such films as The Warriors, Southern Comfort, 48 Hrs. and its sequel, Red Heat, Last Man Standing, Undisputed, and Bullet to the Head. He has also directed several episodes of television series such as Tales from the Crypt and Deadwood. Hill said in an interview that "every film I've done has been a Western", and elaborated in another that "the Western is ultimately a stripped down moral universe that is, whatever the dramatic problems are, beyond the normal avenues of social control and social alleviation of the problem, and I like to do that even within contemporary stories".
