Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media
This is an important and comprehensive study of Hollywood cinema and its representation of the impact of 9/11. In particular McSweeney’s investigation of genre enables the reader to explore ideological connections between the explicit (United 93) and implicit text (Batman Begins) and question the notion of the 'war on terror'.
