Action Theme
- Action movies are a film genre where in the story is largely told
through physical action as opposed to dialogue. The action typically
involves individual efforts on the part of the hero. While action has
long been an element of films, the "Action film" as a genre of its own
began to develop in the 1970s. The genre is closely linked with the
thriller and adventure film genres.
While action films have traditionally been a reliable source of revenue
for movie studios, relatively few action films garner critical praise.
While action films have traditionally been aimed at male audiences,
from the early teens to the mid-30s, many action filmmakers from the
1990s and 2000s added female heroines in response to the times,
glorifying the strong female archetype.
