The 15 Hottest Girls in Apocalyptic Movies

Movie: Stake Land (2010)
Her character, Belle, is a pregnant vampire-killing machine. There’s just something attractive about a woman bearing a child who still has a kill shot.

Movie: 28 Days Later (2002)
Harris had her first starring role as Selena in 28 Days Later. She’s the ass-kicking woman who saved Jim from his first run-in with the infected population of England. If you can throw a molotov cocktail and destroy a hoard of violently-infected monsters, we'll fall in love with you.

Movie: Terminator Salvation (2009)
Director McG brought Bloodgood on stage at WonderCon and asked, “Who wants to see Moon’s boobs in the picture?” Classless, but yeah, we preordered tickets.

Movie: Contagion (2011)
Her character Dr. Leonora Orantes's job is to find the source of the apocalyptic virus. Was it in the water or did a human trigger it? We'll go with the latter and blame ourselves just so we can hang out with her.

Movie: I Am Legend (2007)
You only see her in a flashback, but it’s all you need to understand Will Smith’s character. Obviously he's desperate to find a cure for the cannibalistic virus when he has a wife like Salli.

Movie: The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
Connelly's famed astrobiologist Helen gets recruited by the government to study an extraterrestial intelligent life form called Klaatu. They want to exterminate all humans, but damn, if we were aliens, we'd be trying to get a date with Jennifer instead.

Movie: Doomsday (2008)
We’re not sure what’s scarier in Doomsday: cannibalistic gangs of Scottish people or sure we are that Rhona Mitra's Major Eden Sinclair could beat us up without blinking an eye. Seriously, don’t mess with a woman who tears off the leader of the cannibal gang’s head and holds it up in front of his followers.

Movie: Knowing (2009)
Disclaimer: this is a modern Nicolas Cage movie. No matter how hot she looked, after Byrne’s screen time, you'll be ready to turn this one off.

Movie: The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Jake Gyllenhaal's character goes out in a frozen New York City in, literally, the worst snowstorm of all time, fights off wolves, and runs from the subzero eye of the storm just to bring her medicine. That's how hot she is.

Movie: Children of Men (2006)
Julianne Moore plays Julian Taylor, the natural leader of the immigrants rights group protecting the only pregnant woman in two decades. Leave it to Moore to portray a believably adorable, but still threatening, character in the movie's extremely dark world.

Movie: The Road (2009)
As The Woman in The Road, Charlize appears in a series of flashbacks that tell the story of The Boy in the film's conception. After giving birth, her characters lose her will to live in a world overcome by cannibals, but she adds some much-needed female innocence to the gritty film.

Movie: The Fifth Element (1997)
We’d like to shake hands with the costume designer who thought futuristic females should dress in what is essentially white duct tape that covers their unmentionables.

Movie: 2012 (2009)
When your ex-wife is Amanda Peet, you'd still try to save her if the world was ending, even if she has a new boyfriend. All thirst is voided in the apocalypse.

Movie: Armageddon (1998)
Ben Affleck traveled to space to stop a giant asteroid from hitting the Earth just so he could keep messing with her. That type of dedication only happens when your girl is this hot.

Movie: The Book of Eli (2010)
One of Mila's first big non-comedy roles was as Solaria in The Book of Eli. She transformed from an innocent and naive courtesan's daughter into the companion of a villain-killing missionary man. Every movie about death and destruction needs something pleasant to look at, too.
