In such narratives, who is chosen to defend humanity? In the realm of classic science fiction cinema, humanity is typically represented by a male character, often a white male. This groundbreaking study, the first of its kind, delves into the analysis of masculinity in science fiction cinema, spanning a wide range of American films from iconic masterpieces like Blade Runner to groundbreaking blockbusters like Avatar. It explores the evolution of masculine heroes from the 1980s to the present day, shedding light on their roles and the contributions of their feminine counterparts. By examining gender alongside racial and class politics, Masculinity in Contemporary Science Fiction Cinema also situates filmic examples within the broader cultural context. This essential work is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding science fiction and its profound impact on contemporary cultural politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the realm of classic science fiction cinema, humanity is typically represented by a male character, often a white male.
