"AWESOME!!"  WARREN ELLIS

MOVIES - SCI-FI

Mike Bell’s Sci-Fi Film Plot Maps chart the logic and wonder of the genre’s greatest stories. Each design unravels the timelines, parallel realities, and narrative loops that define science fiction cinema, turning complex plots into clear, elegant visual journeys.

Every map is meticulously researched from verified sources such as original screenplays, production notes, and scene-by-scene analysis. This method reveals how filmmakers build entire universes from idea to image, and how characters move through those worlds in time and space.

Designed in a striking transit-map style, these prints capture both the structure and spirit of science fiction, from dystopian futures and alien encounters to mind-bending time travel and AI consciousness.

More than wall art, each piece is a research-based exploration of how science fiction shapes our imagination: a collectable visual guide to the stories that question what it means to be human.

EVERY MUSIC MAP, FILM PLOT MAP & MORE BY MIKE BELL

I'm a designer based in Lewes, East Sussex, who shifted from show and event design to creating unique tube-style maps during lockdown.

My maps transform complex stories into visually engaging journeys. Whether charting a band's history (like my sixteen-attempt odyssey mapping The Fall's chaotic line-ups), exploring film plots, or diving into other cultural narratives, each map distils intricate information into something beautiful and easy to follow.

My music research is unique in that it brings together information from scattered and often overlooked sources—details that have never been compiled in one place before. Read more here.
