* Time in ''[[Star Wars]]'' is generally measured in relationship to ''[[A New Hope]]''. This was eventually given a [[Fandom Nod|nod]] with the introduction of an in-universe calendar established by the New Republic based on that same date, specifically, the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Yavin Battle of Yavin].
** Ironically, many fans object to this [[Fandom Nod]], considering the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Endor Battle of Endor] in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' to be a more logical date to base an in-universe calendar around (since the events of ''ROTJ'' had far more in-universe significance).
** The Star Wars BBY/ABY (Before/After Battle of Yavin) calendar differs from most real-life examples in that 1 BBY and 1 ABY are the same year. The transition between BBY and ABY happens at the exact moment that the Death Star was destroyed.
* In ''[[2012]]'', after [[The End of the World as We Know It]], the remains of mankind restart the calendar.
* ''Germania anno zero'' (English trans. ''Germany, Year Zero'') was a 1948 Italian film set in post-WWII Berlin. Protagonist Edmund Kohler [[Coming of Age Story|(age twelve)]] struggles to survive in a chaotic world: little rebuilding has been accomplished, food and necessary supplies are rationed & shortages are common. Edmund escapes the tense, claustrophobic apartment—in which he resides, along with remnants of five families—to the streets, hoping to scavenge useful items or information.
