One hero somehow manages to save everyone. For example, in Die Hard, terrorists take control of a skyscraper and ask for a big ransom in exchange for not killing the hostage workers. Action movies usually need very little effort to watch, since the plot is normally simple. They usually involve ‘goodies’ and ‘baddies’, so war and crime are common subjects. Action movies have a lot of exciting effects like car chases and gun fights, involving stuntmen.
