There is a whole sub genre of sci fi, the Post Apocalypse film. I suppose humans have feared an apocalypse for millennia, and that was heightened after Oppenheimer re jigged some nazi plans, and made it possible. There's are many variants; Mad Max, Planet of the Apes, Terminator, 28 Days Later, The Book of Eli, Shaun of the Dead, would all be on my list. They express our fears, and some even plan for it, including Sheldon. They often seem to involve groups of men in pick ups, driving around and killing people for resources(wait a minute that's really happening, now!), or people turning into mindless zombies(again happening!).
