He made his feature-length directorial debut with the criminal comedy Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998 after directing the short film The Hard Case in 1995.

His second picture, Snatch (2000), which was both critically and financially successful, helped him become well-known.

Ritchie, whose marriage to Madonna lasted from 2000 to 2008, helmed the critically derided film office failure Swept Away (2002) after Snatch. He then went on to helm the less well-received and critically acclaimed Revolver (2005) and RocknRolla (2008).

He was the director of the financially successful films Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, released in 2009 and 2011, respectively. Best Original Score and Best Art Direction Academy Award nominations were made for the former.

His previous films include the live-action version of Disney’s Aladdin, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015), which is a recreation of a 1960s spy series (2019).

During its theatrical run, Aladdin made more than $1 billion worldwide, making it one of the top-grossing movies of 2019 and the 34th-highest-grossing movie of all time. In the generally well-received and financially successful The Gentleman (2019), he returned to crime comedy in 2020.

He oversaw Jason Statham’s performance in the action movie Wrath of Man in 2021. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, his twelfth film, which was originally scheduled for 2022, came out in March 2023.
