I am a student in an introductory level film course at Fitchburg State
College in Mass.  I am researching science fiction films that are made with
the typical Western genre characteristics.  These would include a hero with
a strong code of ethics who stands alone and faces the problem (man against
nature, lawlessness, greedy industrialist/ranchers) and  then resolves the
situation by being the "fastest draw."  "Star Wars" would be an example.
I'd love to hear from anyone with an opinion or reference.
