The 'War on Terror' and American Film by Terence Mcsweeney

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.
Terence McSweeney is Senior Lecturer in the School of Media Arts and Technology, Southampton Solent University.
