Born in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, England, Scott attended the Sunderland Art School where he received a fine arts degree in painting.

He then went on to earn his Master of Fine Arts degree at the Royal College of Arts, completing another film for the British Film Institute, LOVING MEMORY, from an original script financed by Albert Finney. In 1973, Scott partnered with his brother Ridley, also a hugely successful director (ALIEN, BLADE RUNNER, THELMA AND LOUISE), to form a London based commercial production company, RSA. Tony began his career creating come of the world's most entertaining and memorable commercials, honoring his film vocabulary and picking up every major award in the field including a number of Clio awards, several Silver and Gold Lion Awards from the Cannes International Television /Cinema Commercials Festival and London's prestigious Designers & Art Directors Awards along the way. While shooting commercials, Scott also made three movies for television, two documentaries, and a one-hour television special entitled AUTHOR OF BELTRAFFIO, from the story by Henry James. In 1983, Scott started his feature film career with the modern vampire story THE HUNGER, starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, and Susan Sarandon. Three years later he directed the globally successful TOP GUN, starring Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis. He then went on to direct five more movies over the next six years: BEVERLY HILLS COP II (1987) REVENGE (1988) DAYS OF THUNDER (1990) THE LAST BOYSCOUT (1991), and the critically acclaimed TRUE ROMANCE (1993).
