The thesis seeks to trace the development of the process of ءreflection as reality̕ through a politico-historical analysis of the intimacies between the United States governments and Hollywood cinema during the Cold War. The working assumption while projecting this study is as follows; the Hollywood cinema and the United States governments enjoyed a close relationship during the period in question.

The thesis will also extend the discussion to a politic cultural assessment of how the United States, through the films, represents and re-presents its superiority, and more importantly, how these films affect and shape the spectators perceptions about its foreign policy.
