Abstract: the article has as its goal to discuss the usage of cinema as a research object of historiography and how it is possible to verify comprehensive constructions based on it. Starting from this point, we considered the representation of the pandemic in the following movies: “O enigma de Andrômeda”, from 1971, “Epidemia”, from 1995 e “Contágio”, from 2011, using part of the bibliography discussed by the subject Tópicos Especiais em Narrativas II. The study was based on a qualitative strategy, of bibliographic review, by usage of descriptive and comprehensible methodology. After analysis of the features films, the research concluded that there is no compromise with the scientific representation regarding what would be a pandemic, because, despite the Hollywood cinema mirroring contemporaneous themes of its time, it still is a product of cultural industry, contributing to the shaping of a North American national identity.
