Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: Men in trouble -- Lawlessness and disorder: cops and other serial killers -- Fathers, crises and nations -- Cowboys, myths and audiences -- Real men? Superheroes, leadership and the war on terror -- Spies, paranoia, and torture -- Soldiers from World War II to Iraq -- New men? Rogues, race, and hegemony -- Lovers: men, women, and gender equality -- Losers, meritocracy and identification -- Conclusion.

Kord and Krimmer investigate the most common male types - cops, killers, fathers, cowboys, superheroes, spies, soldiers, rogues, lovers, and losers - bytracing changing concepts of masculinity in popular Hollywood blockbusters from 1992 to 2008 - the Clinton and Bush eras - against a backdrop of contemporary political events, social developments, and popular American myths.Their in-depth analysis of over sixty films, from The Matrix and Iron Man to Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, shows that movies, far from being mere entertainment, respond directly to today's social and political realities, from consumerism to "family values" to the War on Terror.
