The 1980s were a landmark decade in science fiction cinema, bringing about a fundamental shift in how fans perceive hard science fiction. While space operas and blockbuster hits made waves, there were also several grounded and conceptually rigorous films that later grew to be hailed as some of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. Driven by new special effects technologies, a fresh generation of directors, and a simmering socio-political landscape, sci-fi films of the decade saw a major shift from the philosophical, hopeful themes of the '70s to grittier, grimier, and often dystopian subjects.
