Maybe you’ve got the “Wuhan Coronavirus.” Maybe you’re just afraid of getting it. Either way, staying at home and self-quarantining doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time – or make money.

For inquiries related to the contest below, please contact Alex Horsman via email at alex(at)ammo.com. For all other inquiries, the fastest way to get a response is here – seriously. Our team is working non-stop to keep up. New inventory is added to our website as soon as we can check it in. Thanks for your patience at this time of stress for all of us.

Something we believe about gun-owning Americans: They tend to have a lot more imagination than the average bear. I mean, why else are you prepping? Because you can visualize a future where it might be necessary to have enough food, water, weapons, and ammo (we’ve seen a huge increase in the sales of 40 cal, 223, 7.62x39mm and even 12 gauge shotgun shells since the outbreak) to sit things out for the long haul. So it probably won’t take a lot of convincing to get you to watch these apocalyptic movies that will remind you why you prep while you shelter in place.

We like these movies as much as the next guy. So we’d love to hear your take on the common thread that runs through all of them, which are better than others and why and how they impact your view of prepping in the 21st Century.

Who We’re Looking For

Someone passionate about both prepping and disaster movies who has time on their hands to watch some of our favorite prepper films.

The job role is simple: Watch 10 movies, one miniseries, and one television show episode within 30 days, and answer a few question along the way. You’ll receive a small worksheet to complete.

The ideal applicant:

  • Is passionate about prepping.
  • Would watch all of these movies for free.
  • Pays close attention to everything they watch and read.
  • Can binge-watch all 12 of these in a short period of time (30 days).

To apply, you must be over 18, a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and in agreement with our Terms & Conditions. It’s also helpful for you to be a gun owner (though not required!) so that you can potentially spend your winnings on bulk ammo here at Ammo.com.

Here are the movies and series you’ll be watching:

The Road

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19Based on the gripping Cormack McCarthy novel, The Road picks at the scab that is every parent’s worst fear: Having to confront the end of the world with a child in tow. The actual catastrophe takes a backseat to what becomes of humanity after TEOTWAWKI. There’s no real word for this film other than “grim,” so have someone you care about nearby when you’re viewing this one. (1 hour, 51 minutes)

Where to watch it: Amazon Prime, Netflix

 

10 Cloverfield Lane

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19What if the person who saves you is actually the bad guy? This is the central question of 10 Cloverfield Lane, one to which we never get a satisfying answer. The result is something that will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire length of the film. This spiritual sequel to Cloverfield is less about the end of the world than it is about the interactions between a small group of people who are left. (1 hour, 43 minutes)

Where to watch it: YouTube, Amazon Prime, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu

 

Chernobyl

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19The Chernobyl disaster was a real-life catastrophe taking place during recent human memory. Chernobyl is a frighteningly accurate portrayal of events in the small Belarussian town on the day of the world’s biggest nuclear power disaster. Russian Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky, whose father was a Chernobyl liquidator, called the HBO miniseries “masterfully made.” There is likely not a more realistic depiction of apocalypse than this. (5 hours, 30 minutes)

Where to see: Hulu, HBO Now, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Vudu, Google Play

Captain Fantastic

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19Most of these are all pretty grim, so if you’re looking to lighten things up in the middle of your binge-watching, check out Captain Fantastic. The film depicts a family of left-wing anarchists who leave society for something more primitive and self-reliant, being forced back into society by circumstances outside their control. (1 hour, 58 minutes)

Where to watch it: YouTube, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Hulu

 

Mad Max (1979)

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19This was the film that first introduced Mel Gibson to American audiences. Unlike many of the other films on our list, this is a society in the middle of decay, not one at the very end of the world. Gibson doesn’t talk much in this movie, but even when staring silently into the distance, he makes his point. Think of this film as less of a science fiction picture and more of a western transported into a dying Australia. (1 hour, 28 minutes)

Where to watch it: YouTube, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Hulu

 

A Quiet Place

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19A Quiet Place does more in 90 minutes than most movies today can do in two hours. This is a quiet, but well-paced post-apocalyptic thriller that will make the parents uncomfortable – think about having a pregnancy in a world where sound brings death. This film definitely broke John Krasinski from his defining role on The Office. (1 hour, 30 minutes)

Where to watch it: YouTube, Amazon Prime, Google Play, Vudu, Hulu

 

Black Mirror: “Metalhead”

"GetBlack Mirror has been hit or miss since moving over to Netflix for first-run episodes, but there is nothing missing in this taut, creepy and unnerving episode about a world where humans are hunted by unstoppable robotic dogs. The episode cuts to the heart of what it means to retain one’s humanity in a world where it is constantly under attack and reminds us that “man does not live by bread alone.” (41 minutes)

Where to watch it: Netflix

 

Children of Men

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19Children of Men flips the premise of some of the other films on our list on their heads: What if the problem is not that you’re making your way through an apocalyptic hellscape with a child, but that the apocalyptic hellscape is that there are no more children at all? While it lacks the nuance of the original P.D. James novel, Children of Men is a worthwhile watch, particularly thanks to Michael Caine. (1 hour, 49 minutes)

28 Days Later

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-1928 Days Later sparked a resurgence in the zombie film subgenre, as well as introduced mainstream American audiences to both Danny Boyle and Cilian Murphy. Contrary to popular belief, it was not the first appearance of “fast zombies” – that distinction goes to Return of the Living Dead. More to the point, an entire generation of preppers has jokingly referred to their gear as their “zombie survival kit” at least once. (1 hour, 53 minutes)

Where to watch it: YouTube, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Hulu

 

The Book of Eli

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19Given their similarities, one would think that there would be more attempts at combining apocalyptic fiction with the classic American Western. The Book of Eli was the only one that we could think of (other than the great, but a little too weird for this list, Six String Samurai). This film, about a quest to preserve the last copy of the Bible, was an unusual turn for Denzel Washington that we have little doubt our readers will enjoy. (1 hour, 58 minutes)

Where to watch it: YouTube, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu

Into the Wild

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19Back here in the real world, Into the Wild is something that actually happened. Chris McCandless was an American hiker who moved into the Alaskan outback without proper preparation. The film is an excellent cautionary tale about the necessity of knowing what you’re doing long before you go off grid. (2 hours, 28 minutes)

Where to watch it: YouTube, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu

 

Contagion

Get Paid $1,200 to Watch the 12 Best Prepper Movies as You Self-Quarantine to Avoid COVID-19This medical thriller is perhaps the most relevant on our list. Inspired by the SARS outbreak in the early 2000s, it depicts exactly how a pandemic event plays out. The screenwriter notably consulted with the WHO, the CDC, and medical experts to ensure the accuracy of how a virus can rapidly spread across the globe. The result is a terrifying look at the loss of social order during a pandemic that was praised by both critics and scientists. (1 hour, 46 minutes)

Where to watch it: YouTube, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu

Sam Jacobs

About the Author: Sam Jacobs grew up in Southern New England, probably the part of the country with the weakest gun culture. However, from a young age he believed firmly in the right of self defense and the right to keep and bear arms. This, coupled with 12 years of education in public schools and an argumentative nature, meant that he was frequently getting into debates with his teachers about the virtue of the Second Amendment. A precocious student of history and the Constitution, Jacobs became interested in both the practice of armed self defense throughout history as well as the philosophical underpinnings of the Second Amendment.

Jacobs has an affinity for the individual and the common man against centralized forms of power and elites, whether they be in the government or the private sector. In particular, he is interested in the ways in which private companies work to subvert the legislative process and to undermine American freedoms outside of normal legal channels. He considers the resolution of how corporate power can hem in Constitutional freedoms to be the most pressing political question of our age.

The private sector and the public sector are increasingly indistinguishable from one another, both because of behind-the-scenes corporate chicanery that undermines the legislative process and because private companies are rapidly becoming far more powerful than the federal government. Thus, it is more important than ever to both fight the incursion of private companies into our government and to become independent and self-reliant enough to make it difficult for private companies to hem in your rights.

So Sam believes.

Jacobs is the lead writer and chief historian with Ammo.com, and is the driving intellectual force behind the content in the Resistance Library. He is proud to see his work name-checked in places like BloombergUSA Today and National Review, but he is far more proud to see his work republished on websites like ZeroHedgeLew Rockwell and Sons of Liberty Media.

How many firearms does Sam own and what’s his everyday carry? That’s between him and the NSA.
