A good movies don’t just have an amazing plot or an incredible set of characters: They also have memorable scenery. These visually striking environments are sometimes even the most iconic aspects of the film, such as freight train wreck of The Fugitive or the cute Hobbit houses in Lord of The Rings.
Have you ever wondered what happens to the set after the filming is over? Due to the high cost of disassembly, many of our favorite movie sets are simply left behind when the filming stops. Some of them fall into disrepair, and others, such as the midwestern flatlands of Field of Dreams, become popular tourist attractions.
Here, we have a series of amazing pictures of abandoned movie sets from some of you favorite films.
