George Pan Cosmatos (4 January 1941 – 19 April 2005) was a Greek-Italian film director and screenwriter.
Following early success in his home country with drama films such as Massacre in Rome with Richard Burton (based on the real-life Ardeatine massacre), Cosmatos retooled his career towards mainstream "blockbuster" action and adventure films, including The Cassandra Crossing and Escape to Athena, both of which were British-Italian co-production
