Campbell was born in Hastings, New Zealand. He has directed two James Bond films, 1995's GoldenEye, starring Pierce Brosnan, and 2006's Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig, and was the first Bond director since John Glen to direct more than one film.

On television, his best known work is the 1985 BBC Television drama serial Edge of Darkness, for which he won the British Academy Television Award for Best Director in 1986. Earlier Campbell had overseen some of the more action-oriented episodes from the TV series The Professionals (1977 – 1983). It was confirmed in January 2009 that Campbell will direct the film adaptation of the DC Comics superhero Green Lantern.
