American films, like America itself, have long been fascinated by
the threat of outsiders posing as citizens to destroy the American
way of life. This book 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, such as alien body-snatchers
and android doppelgangers. The work also examines fears inspired by
World War I German spies, the Japanese-American internment and the
McCarthyite witch-hunts and shows how these issues, and others,
played out on screen.
