Cover of Terence McSweeney: 'War on Terror' and American Film (PDF)

This compelling, theoretically informed and up-to-date exploration of contemporary American cinema charts the evolution of the impact of 9/11 on Hollywood film from Black Hawk Down (2001), through Batman Begins (2005), United 93 (2006) to Olympus Has Fallen (2013). Through a vibrant analysis of a range of genres and films – which in turn reveal a strikingly diverse array of social, historical and political perspectives – this book explores the impact of 9/11 and the war on terror on American cinema in the first decade of the new millennium and beyond.
