An alumnus of the Sundance Institute, Anderson directed his first feature film, Hard Eight, in 1996.

His third film, Magnolia (1999), follows the interconnected lives of several characters over a day in the San Fernando Valley. His next film was Punch-Drunk Love (2002), starring Adam Sandler.
Anderson's fifth film, There Will Be Blood (2007), about an oil prospector during the Southern California oil boom, was released after a five-year absence and garnered wide acclaim. There Will Be Blood has been named by several critics as the best film of the 2000s. The Master (2012), about a war veteran who joins a religious movement, was released to critical acclaim. Inherent Vice (2014), based on Thomas Pynchon's novel, initially received polarized reviews but has since been seen favorably by critics. Junun (2015) is a documentary about the making of the album Junun in India. Anderson's most recent film, Phantom Thread (2017), is set in the London 1950s fashion world.
