Hyams was born in New York City, New York, the son of Ruth Hurok and Barry Hyams, who was a theatrical producer and publicist on Broadway. His maternal grandfather was Sol Hurok, the Russian Jewishimpresario. His stepfather was blacklisted conductor Arthur Lief. His sister is casting director Nessa Hyams. His son John Hyams is also a film director. His nephew is Stephen Hyams.
Career
Hyams studied art and music at Hunter College and Syracuse University, before working as a producer/anchorman for WHDH-TV and later WBBM-TV. He has described himself as "one of the very few writer/directors of major films who also photographs his own pictures". During his time with CBS (where he worked from 1964 to 1970), he began to shoot documentary films. Hyams moved to Los Angeles in 1970 where he sold his first screenplay, T.R. Baskin, to Paramount Pictures in 1971.

DP/30:Peter Hyams directed Enemies Closer
Peter Hyams is a unique filmmaker. He writes most of his films. He shoots all of his films himself. And he comes from a historic show business family whose influence took him from being a top-level jazz drummer to being a TV news anchor to being a filmmaker. His 29th feature in his 30 year film career is Enemies Closer, his 3rd film with Jean-Claude Van Damme. He spoke to David Poland about his beginnings, his career, and his new film.

The Relic (Peter Hyams, 1997)
COME IN — IF YOU DARE.
The opening-night gala for a new exhibit at Chicago’s natural history museum is under way. But be advised: something terrifying wants to make sure no one ever leaves.
Penelope Ann Miller, Tom Sizemore, Linda Hunt and James Whitmore star in this effects-packed shocker that gives haunted-house movies a terrific new setting. And the non-human star (brought to head-ripping life by Jurassic Park Oscar winner Stan Winston) is something no creature fan can let slip by.
“The creature can hold its own with the Alien,” writes Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel. “When the last reel begins…the special effect is truly awesome.” Let the panic begin.
