Abstract
The audio-visual media of the Western world, especially Hollywood, have been eager to cover apocalyptic and savior-oriented issues for nearly 30 years. In the meantime, one of the issues that they have achieved considerable success in addressing is creating a sense of need and urgency to a savior among their audiences. These media outlets have employed a variety of methods and techniques to create this issue. Techniques that are cleverly embedded in cinematic labels to make the most impact on the audience; techniques such as the polarization of good and evil, the attractiveness of the savior, the believability of the savior, heroism, etc., are some of the things that are used to create a sense of need for a savior. In the present article, while reviewing a number of Hollywood cinema index works with apocalyptic themes, a number of these techniques will be briefly introduced and explained.
