Action movies typically have several cuts, intense special effects like explosions, and follow a single character as they triumph against evil in a heroic manner. The main character in films like superhero movies typically discovers their talents by accident, which sets the stage for the remaining events in the film. Usually, the main character's opposite is the antagonist. The towering, muscular protagonist triumphs over everything in classic macho fashion.
This major genre category contains movies with a lot of impact, nonstop high energy, plenty of physical stunts and action, maybe extended, racing, rescues, battles, martial arts, mountains and mountaineering, fights, escapes, nonstop motion, outstanding rhythm and pace, and brave protagonists. The action scenes are the heart of the movie, and they are all meant only for the audience's pure escapism.
Action movies frequently cross over with other movie genres and have a lot of crossover potential. Both kinds of movies can be classified as sci-fi, space, thrillers, criminal dramas, war, horror, westerns, etc. Action movies sometimes have enormous box office success but lack critical appeal due to their two-dimensionality.
Examples of action films include: Die Hard (1988), Aliens (1986), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Creed (2015).
