Science fiction is a type of fiction dealing with imaginary but more or less non-supernatural content such as future settings, futuristic science and technology, space travel, aliens and paranormal abilities.

Many science fiction movies are post-apocalyptic, end of civilization stories that often take place in a world where only scattered elements of technology remain. Others offer a look into the future using technologies based on present-day science while retaining some recognizable elements of the world we presently live in.

Science fiction criteria include: A time setting in the future or in a historical past that contradicts known facts of history; setting or scenes in outer space; characters that include aliens, mutants, androids or humanoid robots; technology that is futuristic; time travel, wormholes or faster-than-light travel; new and different political or social systems; and/or, paranormal abilities. Science fiction has topped the cinema charts and the genre has produced many undisputed classics during that time.
