Science Fiction Cinema in Its Contemporary American Context
Edited by Terence McSweeney, this academic volume examines American science fiction films from the first two decades of the twenty-first century through a set of genre-spanning case studies. Its contributors place film analysis alongside the social, political, historical, and industrial conditions surrounding these works, considering how on-screen fears and anxieties connect with concerns beyond cinema. The collection also addresses changing conditions in Hollywood and the ways science fiction has responded to them. Framed as a study of popular yet culturally significant genre filmmaking, the book uses individual films to open broader questions about the period that produced them.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students and scholars of film, television, media, and cultural studies
- Readers interested in American science fiction and speculative cinema
- Film enthusiasts seeking social and industrial context for contemporary genre films

Contemporary American Science Fiction Film explores and interrogates a diverse variety of popular and culturally relevant American science fiction films made in the first two decades of the new millennium, offering a ground-breaking investigation of the impactful role of genre cinema in the modern era.
Placing one of the most popular and culturally resonant American film genres broadly within its rich social, historical, industrial, and political context, the book interrogates some of the defining critical debates of the era via an in-depth analysis of a range of important films. An international team of authors draw on case studies from across the science fiction genre to examine what these films can tell us about the time period, how the films themselves connect to the social and political context, how the fears and anxieties they portray resonate beyond the screen, and how the genre responds to the shifting coordinates of the Hollywood film industry.
Offering new insights and perspectives on the cinematic science fiction genre, this volume will appeal primarily to scholars and students of film, television, cultural and media studies, as well as anyone interested in science fiction and speculative film.
