If science fiction stages the battle between humans and non-humans, 
whether alien or machine, who is elected to fight for us? In the 
classics of science fiction cinema, humanity is nearly always 
represented by a male, and until recently, a white male. Spanning 
landmark American films from Blade Runner to Avatar, this major new 
study offers the first ever analysis of masculinity in science fiction 
cinema. It uncovers the evolution of masculine heroes from the 1980s 
until the present day, and the roles played by their feminine 
counterparts. Considering gender alongside racial and class politics, 
Masculinity in Contemporary Science Fiction Cinema also situates filmic 
examples within the broader culture. It is indispensable for 
understanding science fiction and its role in contemporary cultural 
politics.
