Abstract: Although racial stereotype is still a remaining issue in the society, the tendency to end its negative impact is slowly shown in the movie industry, especially apocalyptic movies. After analyzing apocalyptic movies from the 1950s to today’s iconic works, such as Snowpiercer, and reviewing actors’ opinions on certain race-related topics, it’s obvious that more ethnic stereotypes are removed and there is way less prejudice between groups of characters in the film. From directors to actors, a lot of the minor details have reflected people’s willingness to cease racial diversity in our world. Even though there is still a long way to go to fully transfer the improved and balanced society within these apocalyptic movies to reality, progress has been made to a significant degree.
