A workmanlike director, Sidney Lumet started making mesmerizing
dramas in the '50s and branched into complex urban dramas in the
following decades. Forever connected with New York City cop dramas,
he made a trilogy of films dealing with ethics, with each protagonist's
fate mirroring the ethos of the film's decade: Serpico in the
'70s, The Prince of City in the '80s, and Q&A in the '90s.
Social issues were rarely far from the surface in his films: nuclear
war, the legal system, ruthless media manipulation, Nazi war criminals.
His searing visions earned him five Oscar nominations.
