The 10 Best Post-Apocalyptic Movies, Ranked by Screenrant

"Many movies imagine a post-apocalyptic future; the films are often used as metaphors or straightforward depictions of the social, political, and environmental issues facing the present-day world. They use the apocalypse as a frame for a social commentary on what could happen if humans are not good caretakers of the planet or if they let their hubris lead to their ruin. Most post-apocalyptic movies show dark depictions of the end of the world. However, that isn't to say that filmmakers haven't found ways to infuse levity in the most dire of circumstances. Something films of the genre have in common across the board is the celebration of the human spirit and the will to survive, no matter the cost. Great post-apocalyptic films uncover what people are capable of when pushed to their limits; they focus on not just the violence and horror of the end of the world but on insight into the characters' experiences." - screenrant.com
