American movie stars - regulars of sci-fi thrillers and action movies

Of the American actors, no one disdains participation in science fiction films. Moreover, such films are the strongest in box office. But many of the American movie stars are almost regulars in science fiction bestsellers.

Will Smith

Agent Jay

His march in science fiction films began in 1996, when he was selected for one of the main roles in the film "Independence Day." Since then, he had a chance to survive the apocalypse (“I am a legend”), and clash with robots in the near future (“I am a robot”), and ride these same robots in the past (“Wild, Wild West”), and even pull your son into this genre.

Together they were lucky to star in the failed blockbuster “After our era,” which, with a budget of $ 160 million, raised just $ 60 million in America, for which they were generously endowed with “Golden Raspberries” - both father (for the worst supporting role) and son ( for the worst male role), and together (for the worst on-screen ensemble).

But most of all, Will was remembered by the audience as one of the duo of people in black. Jay's role was truly one of the most colorful in his filmography.

Bruce willis

Bruce in the movie "5th Element"

Although Avatar is still the pillar of world fiction, it all started with such cult films as The Fifth Element. And in many respects the merit here belongs to Bruce Willis, the famous "tough nut", which anyone recognizes among all men - American movie stars. Then there were no less spectacular “12 Monkeys”, “Sixth Sense”, etc. Even the fourth “Die Hard” came out with an element of fiction, since “Collapse” (the apocalypse program), around which the whole film revolves, is nothing more than an idea from the realm of fiction.

Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver and Alien

This is the most merciless killer of bloodthirsty aliens that the world has ever seen. Among women - stars of American cinema, there are, of course, more brutal actresses, but it is Sigourney Weaver who is still considered the main destroyer of evil alien creatures ("Alien", "Alien"). She made a name for herself in science fiction films.

Neither Avatar nor the cult sci-fi horror Hut in the Woods could do without it. And although she didn’t start with science fiction, she was scattered by the fantastic, albeit comedic, film Ghostbusters.

Milla Jovovich

Milla Jovovich in Raccoon City

Milla Jovovich, an American movie star with Ukrainian roots, has devoted half her life to fighting the dead. “Having dispersed” in “The Fifth Element” together with Bruce Willis, today she has already starred in 6 films about the consequences of the erupted apocalypse committed by the hated Umbrella Corporation. Also on her account is shooting in such fantastic films as Ultraviolet and The Fourth Look and, as it became known, the upcoming restart of Hellboy will not be without her.

The Rock by Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Jlonson in the Doom movie

This venerable actor and wrestler does not have such a rich filmography for himself, since he began to appear in art projects relatively recently. But, starting for the first time in the series Star Trek: Voyager, he prefers to star in precisely the fantasy or adventure blockbusters such as Doom, The Treasures of the Amazon, Rift San Andreas, Jumanji and Rampage. Even the comedy "Tooth Fairy" with his participation is from the realm of fantasy.

Jeff Goldblum

Jeff Goldblum in the movie "The Fly"

Without this American movie star, there would be no such world-famous blockbusters as The Fly. The first film, shot back in 1986 by David Cronenberg, is still revered to this day. He also participated in such fantastic films as Independence Day, Jurassic Park, Powder, etc.

Harrison ford

Harrison Ford in the movie Blade Runner

She is Han Solo in Star Wars and Indiana Jones in a series of films of the same name. But most of all, he sunk into the soul with his participation in the greatest creation of Stanley Kubrick "Blade Runner". And despite the fact that in the years when the first part of this picture was shot, they did not even think about any computer graphics, the film turned out to be such that to this day many fans of good science fiction around the world enjoy watching it.

Conclusion

Sam Neal in the film Through the Horizon

Of course, this list is not complete. You can list the regulars of science fiction films for a long time. Keanu Reeves (The Matrix, Johnny Mnemonic), Samuel L. Jackson (The Orb, Deep Blue Sea, Avengers), Sam Nill (The Confession of the Invisible, Jurassic Park, B feed the madness ”,“ Through the horizon ”), etc.

Recently, these heroes were replaced by the heroes of Marvel’s films. But despite the fact that all the X-Men and heroes from the Avengers universe also look quite charismatic, their time to become legends has not yet come.
