  Tracks real-world fears appearing in the movies - Nazi agents, Japanese-American spies, Communist Party subversives, Islamic sleeper cells - as well as the science-fiction threats that play to the same fears. It also examines fears inspired by World War I German spies, the Japanese-American internment and the McCarthyite witch-hunts and shows how these issues played out on screen.
