Beginning with early films like Voyage to the Moon and Metropolis and concluding with more recent offerings like The Matrix, War of the Worlds, A Beautiful Mind, and An Inconvenient Truth, Sidney Perkowitz questions how much faith we can put into Hollywood's depiction of scientists and their work; how accurately these films capture scientific fact and theory; whether cataclysms like our collision with a comet can actually happen; and to what extent these films influence public opinion about science and the future."--Jacket. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Science fiction films|zUnited States|xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2010112197 650 0 Science in motion pictures.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001003404 650 7 Science fiction films.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1108616 650 7 Science in motion pictures.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1108733 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=224650|zOnline eBook.
