These stories are often set after a great Nuclear War, but it could be anything that sets it off
One of the main themes running throughout these stories is that humanity survives and the way we come together after a great tragedy
This time I look at my favourite film stories
5. Mad Max: Fury Road

The main protagonist of these stories is Max Rockatansky, well...I say main protagonist but the main thing with these Mad Max films is that they are stories each to themselves, you could take Max out of it and it wouldn't only make a little difference
The real main character in Fury Road is Furiosa, an awesomely written bad ass lady with a prosthetic robotic arm. There's this really evil dude, the tyrannical Immortan Joe who has a harem of ladies that Furiosa decides to save
The film is basically one big car chase but an awesome one at that with some great moments including a guy on a car in a gimp suit, playing a flame throwing guitar with speakers blaring out while attached to a bunjee cord
4. WALL-E

Another robot comes to Earth called Eve, who is on the search for plant life to see if it is safe for the humans who have long abandoned the mess they left and have turned fat and rely on the system to tell them what to do and eat
It's a fun movie with an important message
3. The Matrix

He discovers that The Matrix is actually a computer run simulation by the machines to keep the humans sustained so they can use them as batteries
In the 21st century, humans waged a war against machines that they themselves created. The 'bots ran on solar power so the humans thought they would block out the sun but of course the machines adapted and decided to use the humans themselves as a kind of bio electric power source
2. Akira

We join the story thirty years later in Neo-Tokyo, following the lives of biker punks TETSUUUUUOOOOOOOO and KANEEEEDAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
After an accident and experiments conducting on him, Tetsuo discovers that he is slowly gaining psychic abilities and seeks the answers to who Akira really is
Meanwhile, Kaneda has to find a way to take his friend Tetsuo out, he's becoming too powerful for his own good
It's a great Animé, this was the first one I actually watched and I'm sure it's the same with many people
1. Terminator 2

- Humans create Skynet
- Skynet decides it's humans that are what is wrong with the world
- Skynet nukes the planet
- Human resistance fights back
- Skynet creates a time machine to kill of the leader of the resistance
- Ends up creating itself in a stable time loop
We follow Sarah and John Conner as they try to prevent the birth of Skynet and the Terminators and to stop Judgement day from happening
It's another post apocalyptic story with a message behind it
- Arnold Schwarznegger is a bad ass looking android
and
- The future's not set, there's no fate but what we make for ourselves
So what's YOUR favourite Post Apocalyptic film?
