Work Description
Youth-oriented book about sci-fi films.
From the back cover: It all started with A Trip to the Moon in 1902. Since then we have been Back to the Future and had Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Science fiction films have given us new and original special effects and different views of what life may be like in space, in the future or in an alien infested world. Super heroes, such as Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon, have saved the earth from evil aliens and power-crazed robots. We have had intergalactic battles in Star Wars and depressing examples of our possible future in Total Recall and in the Mad Max films. This book looks at all the science fiction greats. It describes how the plots and special effects in the films have made us think, gasp and have excited us.
