13 Forgotten But Brilliant 70s Sci-fi That Still Outshine Modern Films - Explored

Cold War, which started immediately after World War II, had led to a "proxy war" in the field of science and technology, one of the most famous of which was the Space Race, which led to the first crewed landing on the moon in the late 1960s. The Space Race, along with scientific and technological innovations, to achieve "first," was considered to be a prestige issue amongst the superpowers. If Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is regarded as a groundbreaking film in bringing new realism and visual effects to the genre, Star Wars was one of the first massive box office hits of Science Fiction. Star Wars aptly reflects the jump in popularity achieved by Sci-Fi in the 1970s due to both socio-political scenarios as well as innovations in the field of cinema itself. We will be dwelling on 13 such brilliant Sci-Fi movies that cover the spirit of the era but became forgotten over time. As all these movies are varied in concepts and style, do not miss any and do tell about your favorite 'hidden gems' from the 70s, which you feel should have made a list.
