To answer this question, the method of systematic review of literature according to Prisma review was used and 20 scientific articles were reviewed using the mentioned method. The results show that the method of data collection in research in this field is documentary. Although this approach meets some research needs, the field of sacred defense cinema also requires interviewing tools. Also, most of the researches were descriptive in terms of purpose, which is the simplest and most superficial research method. Regarding research strategies, case and historical study has been used a lot and the correlation strategy is less and most of the research is survey.

As a result, the pace of production of scientific resources on sacred defense, despite its capacity, is not good, and there is little literature on the performance of sacred defense cinema.
