"Terminator" and "Die Hard"
Popular foreign action movies are primarily American blockbusters. D. Cameron 's film about a human robot was a real breakthrough not only in this genre, but also in world cinema in general.

This tape has become a landmark not only in the career of the main artist, but also for the action movie genre in general, since it was in it that the basic principles of the action were laid, which were subsequently used in paintings of a similar kind.
TV projects
Popular action series also have a prominent place in modern cinema. Among the most famous projects can be called an adventure story about the Chinese city - a comedy action movie that stretched out over several seasons. The series shows the work of a Chinese policeman in America. Almost all episodes were shot in a comedic spirit and with a lot of tricks, which, of course, will appeal to fans of action. Recently, another series from the studio Marvel "Daredevil" was released. The story is dedicated to the next superhero who, having lost his sight, acquired unusual hearing and touch abilities, which helps him fight evil, while remaining invisible and practically invulnerable to the public.
Domestic projects
Russian action movies are not less popular in our country than foreign ones. First of all, among the paintings of this genre, we can name the multi-series project “Streets of Broken Lights”. This story about the everyday everyday life of the Russian police has gained a truly popular love, and the main actors for a long time were remembered by the audience thanks to their talented acting. Another sensational project in its time is called the "Brigade". This film tells the story of the so-called new Russians. The adventure spirit and dynamic action attracted a large number of viewers to this series. Among films of this genre there are also comedic Russian series-action films. In this series can be called the NEXT project. This film tells about a former "thief in law" who, having discovered that he has a son, is tied up with his criminal past and is trying to start living a normal life. The story is not original, but attracted the audience with its witty humor.
Domestic films
Popular Russian militants occupy a prominent place in the cinema of our country. A cult film in this genre is the painting “Pirates of the 20th Century”. This was the first experience of Soviet cinema in the filming of paintings of a similar genre. The experiment was a success. A movie with a fairly simple story about how a simple ship mechanic helps the crew to escape from the sudden attack of sea robbers is still a real standard and the best example.
In our cinema, Russian fighters occupy a prominent place. Crime plays a significant role in them. One of the most iconic paintings of the 1990s is the movie "Brother." This tape tells the story of a young man who, having failed to attach himself to life, becomes a gangster under the pressure of his older brother, who, in the end, surrenders it to the bandits, however, the main character twists out, deals with his enemies and forgives him for betrayal. In 1990, Russian militants began to appear on the screens. Crime was the main plot of the plot. The second part of the film "Brother" continues the story of the protagonist, who this time is fighting a foreign mafia. Both parts are popular with the domestic audience, despite the cruelty of many scenes.
