Survival is a universally relatable theme that resonates with all audiences. These films tap into our deepest, most primal instincts, allowing viewers to imagine themselves in the shoes of characters fighting to stay alive in hostile environments.
Introduce a terrifying external threat, and you get a survival horror like ‘Jaws’. Add humour, and you have a survival comedy like ‘Swiss Army Man’. However, survival dramas focus on overcoming natural obstacles, enduring harsh elements, and facing challenges with a Stoic resolve. Whether set in outer space, atop a snowy mountain, or on a deserted island, these films leave a lasting impression.
