    El presente artículo propone un análisis sobre la evolución del concepto de sueño americano a través de sus aspectos nucleares y dinámicos, según las tendencias sociopolíticas difundidas por Hollywood y su representación en las producciones de mayor difusión. El estudio traza un arco temporal desde el individualismo autocomplaciente de los 90 hasta los recientes escenarios críticos marcados por la amenaza terrorista, la crisis de las hipotecas y las tensiones entre libertades y seguridad, de acuerdo con los imaginarios fílmicos y socionarrativos del siglo xxi.

    This article proposes an analysis on the evolution of the American Dream concept through its nuclear and dynamic aspects, according to the sociopolitical trends spread by Hollywood and its representation in mainstream motion pictures. The study traces a time arc from the self-indulgent individualism of the 1990s to the recent scenarios of a crisis marked by terrorism, the mortgage crisis, and the tensions between liberties and security, according to the filmic and social imagery in the 21st century.
