Kevin Reynolds is a Director, Scriptwriter, Second Unit Director and Thanks American born on 17 january 1952 at Waco (USA)
Kevin Hal Reynolds (born January 17, 1952) is an American film director and screenwriter.
Il y rencontre Kevin Costner avec lequel il retravaillera quatre fois : Robin des Bois : Prince des voleurs, Rapa Nui, Waterworld et la série Hatfields and McCoys . Les tensions sur le tournage de ce dernier film mettent à mal l'amitié entre les deux hommes et Kevin Reynolds en quittera la production. Ils se sont retrouvés lors d'un commentaire audio en DVD où ils se sont montrés néanmoins très courtois l'un envers l'autre. Il faut ajouter que Kevin Reynolds avait en outre participé à la réalisation de Danse avec les loups.
En 1988, La Bête de guerre se focalise sur un char russe en Afghanistan en 1981, montrant son attrait tout au long de sa filmographie pour les grands espaces naturels, que ce soit des déserts, îles ou forêts auxquels se confrontent des hommes seuls ou des petites communautés. Avec Robin des Bois : Prince des voleurs, son cinéma prendra pour certains une tournure plus commerciale. La tourmente médiatique et personnelle de Waterworld et les résultats en demi-teinte du film vont rendre la suite de sa carrière plus erratique. Avec 187 code meurtre il aborde le sous genre alors en vogue du film d'enseignant en milieu difficile. Puis il retourne au film en costume qui a fait son succès avec son Robin des Bois. Si La Vengeance de Monte-Cristo connait un résultat honorable au box-office américain, Tristan et Yseult met presque deux années à sortir pour connaître un échec en salle. Ce film fut l'occasion de reprendre un vieux projet que Ridley Scott devait réaliser après Les Duellistes, pour lequel Reynolds a beaucoup d'admiration. Il a d'ailleurs participé aux suppléments du DVD de ce film.

In the beginning of the 21st century, the polar ice caps melted and the sea level rose to cover every continent on Earth. Surviving humans were scattered across the ocean on ramshackle floating communities known as atolls, mostly built from scrap metal and decrepit sea vessels. Over time, the survivors eventually forget that they ever lived on firm ground, adapting a mythological place named "Dryland" somewhere in the ocean.

An introductory montage shows the fallout of the economic crisis in the European Union and a weakened NATO alliance, amid increasing co-operation between an increasingly militant North Korea and ultranationalist-controlled Russia. The increased deployment of U.S. troops abroad (and the highlighted threat of cyberwarfare) leaves the mainland vulnerable.
