He reprised the role in its sequels, Mad Max 2 (1981) and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985).^{[2] [4]} He appeared in Peter Weir's war drama Gallipoli (1981) and the romantic drama The Year of Living Dangerously (1982).^[4] Five years later he played Martin Riggs in the buddy cop action comedy Lethal Weapon alongside Danny Glovera role he later reprised in its sequels Lethal Weapon 2 (1989), Lethal Weapon 3 (1992), and Lethal Weapon 4 (1998).^[3]

Gibson starred in Franco Zeffirelli's Hamlet in 1990, as the eponymous character of the Shakespearean tragedy of the same name. It was the first film produced by Icon Productions, a production company he co-founded with Bruce Davey.^[1] Gibson's directorial debut was The Man Without a Face (1993), an adaptation of Isabelle Holland's novel of the same name. Two years later he directed and produced Braveheart, a historical epic drama in which he also portrayed Sir William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish knight.^[2] The film earned him a Golden Globe Award and the Academy Award for Best Director, and the film won an Academy Award for Best Picture.^[5] Gibson went on to star in Ransom (1996), Payback (1999), What Women Want and The Patriot (both in 2000), and We Were Soldiers (2002).^{[2] [3]}

Gibson co-wrote, directed and produced The Passion of the Christ in 2004, a Biblical epic drama which chronicled the Passion of Jesus.^[6] On its release, the film garnered mixed reviews as well as notoriety for its graphic violence from critics.^[7] It grossed $370.3 million in the United States and $611.4 million worldwide, making it Gibson's highest-grossing film to date.^[8] Two years later he co-wrote, directed and produced Apocalypto, an epic adventure set in Central America depicting the last days of Mayan civilization before Spanish arrival in the 16th century.^{[9] [10]} Gibson then took a ten-year hiatus from directing during which time he landed roles in Edge of Darkness (2010), Machete Kills (2013), The Expendables 3 (2014), and Blood Father (2016).^{[11] [12]} He directed Hacksaw Ridge in 2016, a biographical war drama focusing on American World War II veteran Desmond Doss, the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor.
