Young adult dystopian films are a form of Dystopian cinema that emerged in the 2010s, based on the earlier literary trend that began in the 2000s. YA dystopian films and books have largely emerged due to the influence and immense popularity of Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games series, which earned success both as a book and a film series. Subsequent examples of prominent YA dystopian fiction pieces include Veronica Roth's Divergent series, James Dashner's The Maze Runner series (additionally - the film counterparts of both series), and the film adaptation of Lois Lowry's The Giver - The Giver (2014). Even though the genre enjoyed a period of massive popularity during the 2010s, it began to lose audiences towards the end of the decade. It has regardless remained an important genre in the academic discussion of 2010s cinema, and some films that predate the movement have also been retroactively considered a part of its stylistic boundaries. The young adult dystopian genre has been heavily inspired by the worldbuilding and themes of The Hunger Games (2012), as well as from its aesthetic and plot structure. The genre focuses on futuristic, dystopian, and Post-Apocalyptic societies where tyrannical, inhumane governments have taken over the earth, or parts of it (often the remains of a dying/dead Earth). Furthermore, people in such societies have been divided into different classes - usually a dichotomic, upper class / lower class system - and thus many people live in impoverished standards, and are even frequently in danger of death, either due to natural Disasters or the government's destructive nature. As its name suggests, the genre tells the struggles and fights for a better future of the young, rebellious youth, who are often forced to fight each other or against an external object, rather than their real oppressors.
