Chinese Summary/中文概要： 过去四十年中，很多科幻电影为观众打开了新世界。他们更加接近未来，得以了解更遥远的过去，或者徜徉在无边的宇宙，并且和之前任何时候的人们相比更加了解人类自我的意识。观众全盘接受了这些想法，在美国排名前十的电影中有四部科幻片，总票房超过二十亿美元。本书就要研究一下过去四十年中的科幻电影，其中有人在银河系中一直走到了很远很远的地方，或者去了一个有DNA繁殖恐龙的主题公园，或者看着外星人进入地球将猎杀人类作为运动，以及更多类似的情节。本书中配有这些电影的传记、梗概、制作故事以及图片等等，均是很少出现在印刷品中的。本书关注能够让观众在两个小时时间里忘记自己烦恼而沉浸其中的电影——那些关于机器人、时间旅行、外星人、太空探索以及其他念头的世界。（LYR）
