A doomsday film is a motion picture which tells the story of an actual or fictitious doomsday event and/or its aftermath. This event may be global in scale or a more localized catastrophe—such as the destruction of a city—which can serve as a dramatic microcosm of a full-scale doomsday event. Alternatively, a doomsday film may tell a suspenseful story in which a doomsday event is narrowly averted. The doomsday theme can be regarded as defining a distinct sub-genre of such broader film genres as suspense, thriller, horror, science fiction, fantasy, action, disaster, war, adventure, or even comedy.
