The Action genre is highly prevalent in movies and video games, and is characterised by a lot of adrenaline and blowing things up. The typical scenario of the protagonists in an Action is a plot-specific — usually MacGuffin-retrieving — series of mini-stories in the form of fights or challenges, usually featuring extended violence with a prevalence of firearms because the protagonists are in direct physical danger. Oh yeah! You know lots of big, loud stuff is going to happen!
