Drawing on a range of philosophical theories to explore the importance of nature/landscape in film, this study shows how Hollywood uses and promotes a range of ecological ideas and debates. The author provides detailed readings of a wide number of films from the 1950s to the present day, from nature films, which explicitly foreground ecology, to more pervasive westerns, road movies and science fiction pictures. Films analysed include "Jurassic Park," "Alien," "Blade Runner," "The Mosquito Coast," "Twister" and "Contact."
