Post-'Apocalypto': The Cycle of End-of-the-World Films

By Hollywood.com Staff

The wind howls through a desolate ghost town, kicking up dust, ash and ground-down bone. Abandoned cars are rusted out, tires blown and disintegrated. Hollow buildings stand idle and alone, crumbling remembrances of a world left behind – our world. Something happened. Something wiped us out and left enough of the world we know behind to create eerie shadows of the past through which new heroes walk. Survivors eek out an existence that combines pioneer hardship with rat-like scavenging. Some are so hungry they’ve turned to cannibalism; others march into the wasteland hoping to find a hidden paradise, an untouched preserve of plant and animal life, well stocked with food and drink, enough for the human race to possibly might carry on – if not simply just enough to save our heroes.
