Action is what film was invented for. Action is the epic hero, the one who changes a nation, who wins the day, who succeeds in life.

This form has the most streamlined structure of any genre. But it's a lot trickier than it appears. What may seem simple and straightforward on the movie screen actually requires careful planning and extremely creative solutions from the screenwriter.

Many people think action movies lack character, plot and theme, but they're mistaken. The best action films have deep stories, complex characters and a profound effect on the audience. But these elements have to be expressed at breakneck speed. This means that you have to be a superb craftsman in order to write a top action script.
