"But what happens in a cataclysmic event, such as an earthquake or
hurricane, when powerful institutions are temporarily thrown off-kilter,
at least locally? Hollywood disaster movies tell us that under these
conditions, the thin veneer of civilization quickly falls away, and
humanity descends into a Hobbesian “war of all against all”, replete
with looting, murder, rape, and cannibalism — or at least that’s what
would happen, if not for the efforts of the chisel-jawed hero. In fact,
this disaster trope is almost entirely false."
