A genre of cinema that primarily uses physical action and forceful activities as a primary method of storytelling, often involving high-energy sequences such as fights, chases, explosions, and stunts. While the genre mainly focuses on these adrenaline-fueled events, it can also intersect with biographical narratives, providing a real-life basis for the action-packed plot. In these instances, the events and characters are based on actual individuals and their experiences, adding an element of authenticity and historical context. As a broader category, all action and biographical action films fall under the umbrella of movies, a form of visual storytelling and entertainment presented through moving images.
