Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey. Genetic themes in fiction films | The Human Genome. Although the potential applications and implications of modern genetics and biotechnology have supplied much plot-material for English-language feature films during the past 25 years or so, there is no genre or sub-genre of 'genetic movies' as such. Rather, genetic themes and motifs have been appropriated, with more or less skill and subtlety, to add a contemporary gloss or twist to such well-established popular cinematic formats as the sci-fi thriller, the chase or pursuit movie and the family drama [see note 1 ]. More surprisingly, perhaps, genetic engineering and cloning have also provided material for a number of sci-fi comedies, from Woody Allen's Sleeper (1973) to Harold Ramis' Multiplicity (1996).
