disaster movies
Films featuring destruction
Disaster movies are films centered on catastrophic events—earthquakes, tidal waves, asteroid impacts, volcanic eruptions, or large-scale accidents like plane crashes or building fires.
The genre typically follows a large ensemble cast facing the unfolding crisis, with emphasis on spectacular destruction and human drama amid chaos: We watched disaster movies all weekend.
The term sometimes extends to films about any overwhelming calamity, including pandemics or alien invasions.
