Sci-Fi is a broadly recognised genre. What most people don't realise is that it is really a hybrid genre of Science and Fiction. One of the first and most iconic appearances of Sci Fi in literature was Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, following that, Jules verne and H G Wells arose later as some of the most iconic, memorable and best Sci fi writers, giving us such stories as War Of The Worlds.
Regarding film, the first example of Sci Fi in cinema was Georges Melies' A Trip to the Moon (1902). probably the most Iconic, resounding and Classical example of Science fiction in film is the film Metropolis (1927).
By far the most recognised examples of Science Fiction are Star Trek and Star Wars. they have accumulated a huge following.
sub genre: time travel
Hybrid genre: Even thought Sci-fi is already a hybrid genre there are still Hybrid genres created from it such as Sci-Fi Western. The film Wild Wild West is a good example of a Steampunk Western (Steampunk being a Sci Fi subgenre).
