Summary

The Terminator. E.T. Back to the Future. Die Hard. These are just some of the films that shaped the 1980s, one of the most famous eras of all time. Within the pages of this book, 80s historian and film critic Dr. Robbie King takes us by the hands deep into the world of the 1980s, showcasing not only the best movies of the period, but also the influence they had on every day life during the epoch and how they shaped the way life was lived.

In here you will see the exact influence that some of the classics of the 1980s had not only on cinema, but in the world in general as well as the context upon which they were created in and why that was the case.

This book is the first of its kind in the world.
