This book examines a spate of American films released around the turn of the millennium that differently address the actuality or possibility of domestic fascism within the USA. The films discussed span a diversity of forms, genres and production practices, and encompass low- and medium-budget studio and independent releases (such as
American History X
,
Stir of Echoes
and
The Believer
), star and/or
auteur
vehicles (such as
The Siege
Fight Club
American Beauty
), and high-budget, high-concept science-fiction films and franchises (such as
Starship Troopers
Minority Report
, the
Matrix
X-Men
trilogies and the
Star Wars
prequels). Central to the book is the detailed analysis of the films, which is contextualized historically in relation to a period that saw the significant rise of the far Right. The book concordantly affords a wider insight into fascism and its various manifestations and how such have been, and continue to be, registered within American cinema.
