Hollywood is filled with genres and subgenres, and many of them have conventions that are entirely their own. Survival movies are, among other things, some of the more harrowing films made in America. These movies are about people who are trying only to stay alive after meeting some sort of disaster that may or may not be their fault.
Survival movies have risen all the way to the top of the Oscars, but they’re also some of my favorite movies to watch. They push people to their extremes, and the tension of the story is almost always built-in.
These are the best survival movies you can stream now:
Cast Away (2000)
