Have you ever wished to have a twin? Maybe an evil twin? Or maybe you are the evil twin, whatever you prefer. Clone movies are a popular subgenre of science fiction that can give you a Hollywood-style glimpse of what it’s like to have someone around that looks exactly like you. From Cloud Atlas to Oblivion, you can explore the moral implications that naturally emerge in the plot.

Many movies about cloning deal with what it means to be human. Some others use clones to tell stories about identity and how genetics determine who we are as individuals.
