Many theatrically released films take place fully or partially in a given year or period after the year they were released or made, even if that setting is now in the past. Only films with a specific future year given are included, and only future settings are listed below, not (then) present or past settings. Generally futuristic films without a specific year of setting are not included.
A specific future setting is common in science fiction films, but it may occur across other genres as well.
