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.
