For his final show he made a black and white short film, Boy and Bicycle, starring his younger brother, Tony Scott, and his father. The film's main visual elements would become features of Scott's later work. After graduation in 1963 he secured a traineeship as a set designer with the BBC, leading him to work on the popular television police series Z-Cars and the science fiction series Out of the Unknown. He was also assigned to design the second Doctor Who serial, The Daleks, which would have entailed realising the famous alien creatures. However, shortly before he was due to start work a schedule conflict meant that he was replaced on the serial by Raymond Cusick. At the BBC, Scott was placed into a directing training programme and before he left the corporation had directed episodes of Z-Cars, its spin-off, Softly, Softly and adventure series Adam Adamant Lives!.

He attended a trainee director's course, while he was there and his first directing job was an episode of the prestigious BBC series Task Force Police (1962), Task Force Police: Error of Judgement (1965). After being for ten year in the advertising business, he began working with producer David Puttmann in the 1970s developing ideas for feature films. Their first joint endeavour, The Duellists (1977) won the Jury Prize for Best First Work at Cannes in 1977 and was nominated for the Palm d'Or, more than successfully launching Scott's feature film career. He also filmed Blade Runner (1982), Legend (1985), Thelma and Louise (1991), G.I.Jane (1997), Gladiator (2000) and Robin hood (2010). Scott has been nominated for three Academy Awards for Directing (for Thelma and Louise, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down), plus two Golden Globe and two BAFTA Awards. He became famous for the movie Alien (1979), which ignited the Alien franchise. He also filmed the movie Prometheus (2012), which is a prequel to Alien.
