Biography

Ratner est né à Miami en Floride.

Diplômé de la Tisch School of the Arts de la New York University, son court-métrage, Whatever happened to Mason Reese, est son projet de thèse.

Son premier long-métrage est Argent comptant qui rencontre le succès au box-office américain. Le film est servi par Charlie Sheen et Chris Tucker dans une petite histoire d'arnaques et de diamants. Brett Ratner fait un retour très marqué avec Rush Hour qui est un véritable succès au box-office américain, récoltant plus de 250 millions de dollars.

En 2000, il réalise Family Man avec Nicolas Cage et Téa Leoni, une petite comédie de 60 000 000 $ qui ne rencontre pas le même succès que Rush Hour. L'année suivante il retrouve son duo culte pour reprendre les aventures dans Rush Hour 2 qui est encore une fois un succès public.

En 2002, il s'éloigne de la comédie en acceptant de conclure la trilogie de Hannibal Lecter, avec Anthony Hopkins, et Edward Norton, avec le thriller psychologique Dragon Rouge. Il s'agit de la deuxième adaptation cinématographique après Le Sixième Sens de Michael Mann. Le film est un succès commercial.

En 2004, il fait appel à Pierce Brosnan et Salma Hayek pour la comédie d'action Coup D'éclat, une histoire de diamants aux Bahamas.
Le film est un semi-succès au box-office.

En 2005, il est engagé pour conclure une autre trilogie. Il remplace Bryan Singer, engagé pour réaliser Superman Returns, pour prendre les commandes de X-Men : L'Affrontement final avec toujours la même distribution. Le réalisateur Matthew Vaughn avait d'abord été sollicité pour reprendre le flambeau, mais avait décliné. Le film est un très grand succès commercial au box-office rapportant plus de 450 millions de dollars.

En 2007, il revient à la comédie avec Rush Hour 3, dont l'action se passe à Paris, et qui n'est pas un gros succès. Puis en 2011, avec Le Casse de Central Park, où il dirige les stars Ben Stiller et Eddie Murphy, qui revient au genre après une longue absence.

En 2014, il propose une version modernisée du héros Hercule dans son film Hercules, avec Dwayne Johnson dans le rôle-titre.

Four days after the events of the first film, detective James Carter is on vacation in Hong Kong, visiting his friend, Hong Kong Police Force Chief Inspector Lee, as he was sent along with Lee in saving the life of the Chinese counsel's daughter in Los Angeles. The fun is put on hold when a bomb explodes at the United States Consulate General, killing two undercover U.S. custom agents inside. Inspector Lee is assigned to the case, which becomes personal when it is discovered that it somehow involves Ricky Tan, his late police officer father's former partner. Tan, who was suspected of having a role in Lee's father's death - though the connection was never proven - is now a leader of the Triads. This, however, causes a rift between Lee and Carter, the later who simply wants to enjoy his vacation and not get into any danger.

Jack Campbell is a single, wealthy Wall Street executive living the high life in New York City. He is in the midst of putting together a multi-billion dollar merger and has ordered an emergency meeting on Christmas Day to ensure its success. The concept of family life clearly has little or no meaning for him. In his office, on Christmas Eve, he is surprised to hear that his former girlfriend, Kate, tried to call him after many years. After reminiscing a bit, he walks into a convenience store where a lottery contestant, Cash, barges in saying that he has a winning ticket worth $238. The store clerk believes that Cash is lying and refuses to give him his winnings. Cash pulls out a gun and is about to shoot the clerk before Jack offers to buy the ticket from him for $200, thus averting disaster. Jack and Cash settle their business deal outside. Jack offers to help Cash. In return, Cash questions Jack, asking him if he is missing anything in his life. Jack assures him he has everything he needs. The two part company, but not before Cash cryptically tells Jack that actions have consequence and that Jack has brought whatever is coming on himself. Jack returns to his penthouse and sleeps away the night alone.

The orphans in the government-run Prescott Academy are taught practically since birth to become government agents. Their number one rule is "no attachments". Agent 83 (Hailee Steinfeld) has always been curious about the world outside the Academy, however. Despite her excellent work in the field, she has dreamt of a normal life. She brushes up on her teen culture through popular magazines and watching movies and TV shows like Mean Girls, Bring It On, and Beverly Hills, 90210. Her mentor Hardman (Samuel L. Jackson) has always discouraged her and the other girls from becoming attached to anything. 83's skills have also made her rivals with 84 (Sophie Turner).
