Jean-Claude Van Damme
Hyams had a big hit with the Jean-Claude Van Damme film Timecop (1994). The director and actor subsequently reteamed on Sudden Death (1995) which did less well.
Hyams did a horror monster movie called The Relic (1997) which received mixed reviews and grossed $48 million at the box office.
The blockbuster End of Days (1999) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger is the highest-grossing film in Hyams' career, grossing over $200 million at the worldwide box-office but was met with negative critical reception.
Hyams followed with The Musketeer (2001), a new version of the novel by Alexandre Dumas, which was a minor box office success.
However, his next film, A Sound of Thunder (2005), a science-fiction movie, had serious difficulties during its production (including the bankruptcy of the original production company during post-production), performed particularly badly at the box office worldwide and was poorly received by critics.
He directed an episode of the series Threshold (2005).
In 2007, it was reported that he would direct the remake of his own Capricorn One; instead, he directed the remake of the 1956 film noir Beyond a Reasonable Doubt starring Michael Douglas, which was released in 2009. It was a box office flop, and panned by critics.
