You might think that a movie villain harnessing the sun’s power is far-fetched, but the available energy solutions from the actual sun are very real, indeed. Over the years, Hollywood has referenced solar energy and power as something of the future when current technology offers accessible solar solutions today.
Here are eight movies that will help you imagine and realize just how powerful the sun can be:
1. ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’ (1974)
In this classic 007 movie, James Bond attempts to retrieve top-secret solar cell technology before it’s sold illegally to the highest bidder. Starring Roger Moore, this film succeeds in emphasizing just how valuable solar technology really is.
2. ‘Race the Sun’ (1996)
A new teacher takes control of a group of misfit high school students. After gaining inspiration, these Hawaiian students work to create a solar car, winning them a trip to compete at the World Solar Challenge in Australia. Although today’s technology far surpasses what’s shown in the film, it’s clear that gasoline isn’t the only thing that can power a vehicle.
3. ‘Gattaca’ (1997)
While this movie largely addresses future controversies such as designer babies, it does possess one scene that illustrates the use of future solar power. At one point, the two protagonists (Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman) enter a concentrating solar plant to view the sunrise together.
While the warmth and beauty of the sun get the spotlight, viewers are able to see the significance of solar energy as a thing of the future.
4. ‘Sahara’ (2005)
This action-packed film tells a story of explorers and treasure hunters seeking rumored riches aboard an old Civil War ship. Their quest leads them through a massive solar plant in the middle of the cruel Saharan Desert.
5. ‘Sunshine’ (2007)
Set in 2057, this futuristic film focuses on an international crew of astronauts and their dangerous mission to stabilize the sun using a nuclear bomb. Much like the movies listed above, this one adds to the mystery and interstellar importance of future interactions with the sun.
Without the power of the sun, the world wouldn’t survive.
6. ‘Megamind’ (2010)
Using the voice talents of Brad Pitt and Will Ferrell, this kid-friendly flick features a lovable super villain in his quest to defeat his nemesis, Metro Man. Through the use of a homemade “death ray,” Megamind uses his genius contraption to harness the “full concentrated power of the sun.”
7. ‘Ender’s Game’ (2013)
Young Ender Wiggin is chosen to attend Battle School for training to protect the Earth from the Formics, a deadly alien race. In one scene, Ender and the new recruits leave Earth in a spaceship waiting at base. Although thousands of solar PV arrays surrounding the base might appear to be trees, they are the power source for the military base.
8. ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ (2015)

A Nod to the Solar Eclipse: 6 Movies With Sun in the Title
It’s official! On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will be visible within a band across the entire contiguous United States for the first time in almost a century. This event is causing mad news coverage and a nationwide rush of preparation for safe viewing of this heliocentric magnificence. We at CultureSonar want to honor this golden moment in silver screen form and as such have whittled the large selection of “sun”-titled flicks down to six stellar entries. So whip out your smoked glasses to keep the dangerous rays at bay while getting the best possible visibility…indoors.
1. Sunset Boulevard (1950)
An undisputed masterpiece, directed and written by Billy Wilder and among the first batch of films to be preserved in perpetuity by the Library of Congress for its cultural significance, Sunset Boulevard is a creepy, cautionary tale of the cruelty of deranged stardom and the casualties it leaves in its wake. William Holden plays the doomed “kept man” of aging, obsolescent movie icon Gloria Swanson, who plays her tragic character Norma Desmond with dementia-riddled zeal. Swanson was 50 at the time but this ended up her signature. It is dark, funny, self-referential to Hollywood and utterly unique.
2. Slunce také vychází (1957)
Adapted from an Ernest Hemingway’s novel. Still, Slunce také vychází should be obligatory viewing for all those interested in the grand sweep of Cinemascope. The production values are spectacular and the cast is memorable (Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn, Mel Ferrer, Robert Evans, and the most gorgeously world-weary Ava Gardner). Many will be enthralled by the famous “running of the bulls” scene; others will be rightly horrified. Regardless of which side you fall on, this one remains a landmark in cinema.
3. Zatmění slunce (1961)
A poignant, even wrenching adaptation of Lorraine Hansberry’s classic 1959 play, this historic movie follows the plight of the Younger family, who wish to better themselves via a $10,000 life insurance windfall. That ten grand by make it possible to purchase a small home in a safer neighborhood but the brave, upstanding Youngers are up against the rot of racial prejudice as they look to make the move. The mere notion of a black family moving into suburban Clybourne Park throws its insidious residents into a tailspin of self-serving self-mindedness and bigotry. Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee helm this memorable, humane classic that packs a powerful punch and sadly has not lost its relevancy.
4. Říše slunce (1987)
This is a worthy pic from Steven Spielberg’s canon of exquisite, sweeping, family-themed movies. It is the coming-of-age tale of a wealthy British schoolboy Jamie Graham (Christian Bale) living the soft life in Shanghai until he gets wrenched from his parents and placed in an internment camp by the Japanese in World War II. He gets friendship and support from fellow prisoner Basie (John Malkovich), but mainly shows his own unaided adaptability and spirit as he navigates this separation from his parents. Only 13 at the time, Bale’s fine acting chops are already on full display and the backdrop of war-torn Shanghai is picturesque and powerful.
5. Pod toskánským sluncem (2003)
Diane Lane is an endlessly enchanting actress and Pod toskánským sluncem is a likable confection with colorful characters, a lightweight love story, and lyrical views of Tuscany. As beautiful author Frances Mayes, Lane makes her way to Italy in search of a re-set button after her husband leaves her for a younger, pregnant woman. Restoring some dilapidated digs with the help of her vibrant neighbors, Mayes also weathers a (literal) storm and restores happiness to one divided family. Relaxed escapism? Sure, but Lane received a Golden Globe Award for this performance, too.
6. Věčný svit neposkvrněné mysli (2004)
Quirky romcom meets sci-fi mind-bender when both members of a broken-up couple patronize a sketchy company that completely erases memories from their brains. Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey are adorable as the estranged couple as Winslet kicks into her wild, free-spirited soul mode and Carrey tamps down his usual schtick for something more genuine. Told in a deliciously twisty, convoluted way, Věčný svit neposkvrněné mysli is an amusingly touching affair with an edge, a wink, and a heartfelt sob.
