Jerry Bruckheimer recognizing his achievements on commercials offered him the chance to direct one of his productions as Bay's feature film debut.  Bay did so with Bruckheimer's action comedy "Bad Boys" starring Will Smith, and Martin Lawrence.  In the same year he also received a Directors Guild of America Award for his work on commercials.  Bay followed this with action film "The Rock" starring Sean Connery, and Nicolas Cage.  The film was a commercial success grossing over $335 million at the worldwide box-office.  In 1998, he directed, and produced the science fiction disaster film "Armageddon" which was the highest-grossing film of the year, and Bay received the Saturn Award for Best Director.
