ACTION FILMS

Action film is a film genre where one or more heroes undergoes a series of challenges that require physical feats, extended Rights and frenetic chases. They occasionally have a resourceful charcater struggling against incredible odds such as, life-threatening situations, an evil villain, and/or being chased in several ways of transportation (car, bus, truck, etc), with victory achieved at the end after difficult physical efforts and violence.

While action films have traditionally been a reliable source of revenue for movie studios, relatively few action films obtain critical praise. Although 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 expanding social conceptions of gender, glorifying the strong female archetype.

THE FUGITIVE


The Fugitive is a 1993 American thriller film based on the television series of the same name.
The film was directed by Andrew Davis and stars Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones.
The film was one of the few movies associated with a television series to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
This is also a Hollywood producer's orgasmic dream with a chase scene beginning in the first reel and lasting throughout. It is based on the 60s TV show of the same name, but gets its premise from a true crime story, that of Ohioan Dr. Sam Shepherd who actually went to jail for murdering his wife in the 50s. He too claimed to have fought off the real killer, but the forensic evidence and his personality were against him. Here we have Harrison Ford as the good doctor, and it doesn't take a Hollywood genius to tell you that the most popular leading man of the late twentieth century ain't about to play the kind of guy who murders his loving wife.
